When The Fruit Has Ripened
The bough breaksWhen the fruit
Has ripened.
Maybe it's just
A premonition
Sanctioned
By promises.
Plants wither
And bear themselves
The fruit of eternity
Embalmed
In a mortal frame.
When The Fruit Has Ripened
The bough breaksIn science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
