Summer sweets
July 28, 2000
When I speak of
the pleasures
of biting
into fruit,
my throat
opens up.
Fields
of strawberries
brimming
with juice,
brass bowls
filled
with grapes,
plump,
fresh from vines,
plums
as purple as
violet nights.
Who can resist
the taste of
peaches,
perfectly ripe,
sweetened with
the cream of
summer light.
