Mango is mystery

Held in hand

Ovoid

Gravid

Solid

Dark green deep red variegated pigmented leathery fructis skin,

that the shiny peeler flays

to offer spicy mango smell, redolent in its yellow-orange flesh.

Knife in longitudinal laceration seeks that nonconforming seed

Unlike cross-cut five-point apple constellation

or

Spherical perfection in cherry stones.

Mango bears its enigmatic lozenge of life.
