The Pomme-Grenade                 Looking at the pomegranate,                 you think of the sun of,                 the warmth of, the                 heat of                 Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan -                 the scorch that comes                 from a smoking gun                 and how this hot-headed,                 hard-nosed fruit                 yields so easily                 from its laden pulp                 edible arils of blood.
