I am fruit rotting on the fruitscale
mould-coated, malleable, discarded
[eventually thrown away] (in the fire)

I am a wineskin burst:
hollow, liquid evicted - licked
up [the world drunk on my evaporation]

I am a banana bent:
weighted, longing to peel away
[the load]

I am the pit of a plum naked:
eaten around the edges, spat out,
grinded in the blade of a waste-disposal unit
[longing to be whole and clothed once more]

I am an apple cut and peeled:
coreless, all flesh and browning pulp
waiting [to be consumed]

I am fruit[less] on a fruitscale:
but attatched to the vine
I am fecund, fearless, [and bound
to beat the frost when winter comes.]

Interesting way to put it! Long as were attached to the "vine" we will turn out fine!

Great ending. Indeed, you will prevail when the time of trials arrives. Good poem.
