Cherry Me
– for “Cherry Delight” by Rebecca Morris
Cherry me, the sweet
pop of being of the bright taste
of the tasting taste that tang
on the tongue when there’s only you
in a room with a mouth
to move, to open bursting
flames, let the lips
of breath, flush
with the yum, a single self-
fed fruit.
Description
The uplifting warmth of Rebecca’s painting celebrates all of those self-cultivated moments of pleasure that see us through isolation – one of which for me was writing this poem.
