"The Shade"
This is my mother's childhood home, my own. Late summer: buschels warp in orchard grass. The apples drop into an insect drone Pervasive as this shade; we sense the past.
Mnemonic as the taste of late, warm fruit, This arbor and its sentimental blur Of earth and roses resurrect those brute, Voracious children we forget we were.
The broad leaves stir along the vine—intrusion Gentle as this present—where my mother Steps beneath a vegetable confusion Savage as our hold on one another.
Beyond this tangle of espaliers, noon Passes in the shadow of a perfect arc; Here bees have sucked the ripe grapes dry, and soon The skins will settle, sweeter for the dark.
—Suzanne J. Doyle

1. Maybe if I posted more poems about women's vaginas, I would get more comments. |
