Babcock Peaches

new
not even ripe yet
touches of green on the shoulders

I pass them by
will wait a week or so
but leave the store still wanting their
white fruit

Summer will be here soon

It will climb the hill as the air warms
and the breeze stills

Soon there will be basket on basket of
babcocks
queen anne cherries
red flame grapes

We will take them in
as we take in the tongues of lovers
their sweetness invading our bodies
leaving us aching for more
