Analysis of Fruit of rose
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
People want to make love.
Then some stop.
Others say don't stop.
Roses bloom from their genitals.
Some eyes are closed. Some eyes are opened.
People make love as if to roses as if they are roses themselves. Their eyes bloom, their hair like fresh stems, their mouths bud and bloom with the sun.
All the roses share blessings to each other around the world, some are housebound.
But where is the fruit after all this love...
It is the rose itself that is the fruit.
So light and delicate you hardly realise its a fruit at all, the most heart quenching fruit on the planet, maybe even beyond.
Some fruit does not taste for you but other fruits are as if you are the very same fruit as gorgeous as the fruit of rose kissed by God himself.
