A Cup of Berries – v6

Picked by hand, so tiny, gems,
blackberries, from our walk,
each one fully ripe, tart, sweet,
Cool in the stained take-out coffee cup,
sitting on a shelf in her 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, berries,
ripe summer fruit
kept from spoiling,
Enticing me again
to reach in for more…
