A Cup of Berries – v4

Picked by hand, so small
blackberries, from our walk,
each one fully-ripe, tart,
cool in the stained take-out coffee cup,
sitting on the shelf in the dark fridge.

Open and inviting,
calling me to pick, to taste another,
crimson stain on my fingers
ripe berry past my lips
so tart, so sweet.

August fruit,
ripe summer fruit
kept from spoiling,
enticing me again
to reach in again for more.
