Onion – Sarah Sanfield

Onion-

pyretic, potent, plum

Onion’s first sliver

a razor to its riches

A tear of grief

falls

Onion’s layers

cleave

so galling to see

yet seen by none

Deeper colors 

of Onion

burn more when 

darkly 

bitten

Onion’s core

clammy 

and white yet 

only once innocent

The most important piece 

the value of Onion

she stabs

and rains down

What have I done?

Knife

butchering

rabid fumes

of Onion’s 

fluid

splattering 

Onion slumps

on porcelain plates

weak

every where 

slit

Onion

dribbles

drips

onto 

the 

floor

Onto

other 

hands

Onion

Bled.
