Sometimes overflowing with soft and fragrant fruit
juicy, delicious, tender and abundant.
Sometimes empty except for three dusty, blackened leaves.
Sometimes a generous harvest ripens slowly
and monotonously.
Sometimes a rainbow of variety
is enjoyed one by one
until only the bruised fruit remains
summoning tiny flies.
The bowl embraces the impermanence of the fruit
with steadfast equanimity.
