Succulence - December 22, 2001

Even the scent is intoxicating
as the fleshy fruit
changes from deep, dark red
to a pale clarity.

Engorged in pure sweetness,
each bite makes us dance
in a drunken stupor.

Sucking slowly
to draw all the nectar
from the center --
I wonder
how these cherries
would taste
cast in chocolate.
