Full sun. Starlings flock, nasturtiums burst into blossom…

“Full sun. Starlings flock, nasturtiums burst into blossom. And me, cracking open a pomegranate I think to myself, “If only the seeds of the heart could be so transparent,” when the juice spurts out and splashes into my eyes, vermilion tears trickling down. My mother bursts out laughing and Rana too.” quote by Sohrab Sepehri
