Red Poem

by Maged Elgendy

Apple saddened cried
Red Red beauty, now holed

“O sweet mother tree,
why has the worm flawed me?”

“O Red Red beauty,
but can’t you see?”

“Thou pluck blessing
from thy messing.”

“From your red glee
their bellies be free
and you shall seed into me.”

Born and raised abroad, I always felt distanced from everything around me. Sometimes you feel like you don’t belong anywhere because you leave pieces of you everywhere you visit. Reading was one of the things that endured throughout my journeys. I enjoy robust raw unfiltered literature. Bukowski’s poetry was one of my first moving forces and still is to this day.
