I should have lived like the lettuces and broccoli,
bolting in excessive heat, as nature wills,
instead of pressing onward, making meals,
only to be cut down again, by the one who held me.
Raspberry Patch
Sanguine, swollen,
intending to be taken,
they barely hide, their flesh
the reason for our rash
and burn. Their sweetness
flees as it’s apprehended.
Would it be so wrong,
as ankles and wrists succumb
to mosquitoes and nettles,
to long on a primitive level
for the ignorant years
when they simply appeared,
flavorless and beautiful,
whenever we called?
Nothing new in carpe diem
under the terrible sun.
We realize eating’s
an art form now, but having
scrambled for strawberries,
snap peas, rhubarb, we’re ready
for something we can count on
to stay while our backs are turned,
even if it’s only the earthly bones
of something heavenly and flown.
