Evangelean peeled her orange
and began to cry for
her soul had been pulverized.
Her thoughts had been revealed
and her secrets had been
exposed.
Now she felt as if
her sanctuary had been gone
from her world.
So as she peeled
her perfect fruit,
she wished that her life
was flawless.
And it wasn't,
yet the zest of her fruit
was suddenly pouring
into her life
and making her see that
perhaps she could go on
and survive.
Nobody could take her zest
away from her.
She popped the fruit
into her mouth
and shoved the secrets
back into their drawer.
No more secrets.
Or so she would think.
