VERY BERRY

You are so berries
I want to turn you

into deep-dish cobbler
topped with cream.

You are so berries
I want to jar you

into jam
and spread you
on bread.

You are so berries
I want to distill you

into cordial,
sniff your bouquet

of overtones of passion,
undertones of artistry,
hint of ferae naturae,
roll you on my tongue,

and sip...slowly
berry...slowly.
