how to eat a mango

wait for it to ripen

slightly sweet and 

fragrant at the rind

dig in vertically 

next to the core,

then top to bottom

side to side

into the fruit's flesh

press upon the peel

as it flowers outward

polish off the center

not to waste anything

and feed off the skin

I think    delicate

I think    delicious

I think of her
