BLIGHT
By Sylvester H Wauye
I wonder how
a tomato feels
when it’s is attacked by blight.
Especially,
a ripe tomato
shaped in the form
of a heart.
It looks infested
with dark, splotchy,
concentric spots
as it curls and withers.
The blight
is difficult to heal
when insane jealousy takes command
and smothers the light.
