Listen I want to tell you
A poem from the perspective of an orange.
“ The love of an orange “
An orange did love
The man who ate it .
A feast for the eyes
Is the final repast .
It’s heart held fast his greedy gaze .
This poem made by Dahlia Ravikovitch , Israel Poetry , born in 1936. Writing in the world dominated by man like Amichai and Zach , she become the only female Hebrew poet of her generation .
What amazed me is the thought of seeing love in the perspective of fruit . devastating in six lines , love as consumption.
Imagine that orange is a woman and she was devoured by the gaze of man that looked at her and in love with her .
