When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend
all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking
of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body
accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among
the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.
Lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, chives, pole beans, and two kind of peas - the kind you pick and eat immediately and the kind you pick and put in an old vase by your bed that scent the house for a week!
peas! yum!
Oh, the sweet peas! I could smell them from the house!
