Living flesh shimmering,
quickening,
alive under the dewdrops, captured,
a gem of color, hard to describe,
though I long to give the pigment voice
to sing of its existence…
Darker than candy-apple
red, crimson,
more alive than blood, almost metallic,
Ruby in its name, in creation, but deeper,
there is more than that to its shade,
wet color drawing me in…
Seeing a dark sorbet, not
raspberry,
blueberry or even blackberry, darker,
Boysenberry only, tasted once in Chicago,
a bit of perfection, while crocuses and daffodils
were buried, in new-fallen snow, forty years ago….
