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…

Living flesh shimmering – v2 #plumeria #color

Living flesh shimmering, quickening,
alive under the many dewdrops, captured,
a gem of color, a deep red, hard to describe,
though I long to give the pigment voice
to shout, 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, its hue,
radiant-wet color drawing me in…
 
Seeing a dark sorbet, not raspberry,
blueberry or even blackberry, darker,
Häagen-Dazs Boysenberry Sorbet, that was it,
tasted once in Chicago, a bit of perfection,
while crocuses and daffodils were buried,
in new-fallen snow, forty years ago….

living goblets – v5

I had never stopped like this time,
pausing to see the beauty,
wonder of raspberries,
even slightly overripe,
before tasting the first one
 
thrown in the package,
red living goblets
of juice, of nectar
some overturned, on their side
offering their blessing
 
dark warm liquid joy
no base, no stemware
red living goblets
filled with life, essence,
offering love, sweet taste
 
soft, swollen raspberry cups,
some overripe, fragile,
crushed by my fingers,
staining my hands, wet,
no matter how gentle my touch
 
picked from the package,
ever so gently, raised,
a toast to the taste,
brought to my lips
cups of longing, of juice
 
red raspberries giving
their nectar, their essence,
supple living goblets
offering themselves, joyfully,
to my hungry open mouth

Aurora – v2

Below the dome of the stars
in the frozen February sky
Pull over to the shoulder
my visible breath aglow…

Dancing lights, flickering stars
sway to the images, the movement,
stored on rods and cones,
Turquoise and ruby red grapefruit
Pale canary and pure blue…

The magic froze me for a while
separated from my journey
by the light show, the wonder,
echoes of the solar eruptions…

Mood Indigo – v2 - repost

Ancient Jazz incarnate
rising from his seat
clarinet in hand
sharing a prayer with us
 
Slowly, oh so slowly,
melting into the notes, the lyrics
another place and time
the song, Mood Indigo
 
Ancient growl of the tune
rhythm, melody
whine of his clarinet
drawing us all in to
the Mood Indigo
