I crack its fruit onto the floor and mind my pomegranate like an open door, watch from the corner of my bed   The pomegranates felt a sense of belatedness so they imitated until they created their own culture By this, of course, I mean the pomegranates felt a sense of belatedness so   their art was modelled after Chronos, engendering time and all its tensions Even building in their prime the pomegranates felt a sense of belatedness so they created until they imitated their own   Have you ever heard of the Heraclitean pomegranate? Or seen its shape-shifting jewels whip light from an egg-yolk into vanishing air? Oh but have you ever heard of the Heraclitean pomegranate?   Tell me, when was the last time you fed the pomegranate, allowed its composition to transform you? Spill it!
