Black Sweetness

Black Sweetness

May 3, 2020 Posted by admin The Poetry Corner No Comments

I’ve always heard that the blacker the berry

the sweeter the fruit…

you see, we were cultivated and harvested…

grown from the root.

 

There is nothing quite as satisfying as

the taste and flavor

of freshly picked blackberries…

a taste that is meant to cherish and savor.

 

A drop of dark nectar

touches my lips and my tongue first

and then it coats my throat

and begins to satisfy and quench my thirst.

 

No…

I won’t waste one drop!

If it drips down my chin

I won’t wipe the juices away,

I’ll let it marinate into my skin.

 

So when shopping for precious fruit

just pass by all the other ordinary produce

because the plump blackberries

have the sweetest juice.

 

James Siler 2003
