Bell Pepper

I arrived at my friend's house
as she was making dinner
she had just cut open a pepper
(maybe for the first time as we were young)
and she held out a half in her hands
"see" she said "it's beautiful"
and I saw it in a new way
lush, seeded, and vulvic
she was right,
if Georgia O'Keefe
painted vegetables
she'd have painted the bell pepper.
