R is for Raspberry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raspberry

Little hut of circles,

a nest 

for the tongue

a thimble of juice

delicate

as a summer morning.

Ripe on the brier,

a red promise

Summer igloo

in the hot iron sun.

Pebble of seed

gathered under flesh,

soft thatch of roof

Elusive melody

in the thorn bush,

a chorus repeated

year after year,

a sotto voce note

that hangs

momentarily

in August's mouth.
