POEM;
First, we would load up the car, with salty
sunflower seeds in our pockets and thermos’
in hand, and when we took to the lot
we used buckets that we filled with blackberries
bursting in the August sun. We took them home,
and sat purple mouthed with fingers
bramble-worn from the pricking, as grandma
cooked them with sugar in a big pot, and the next
morning it was my job to help get the biscuits done.
Then we’d open a jar and pry the wax from the top,
and sometimes chew it up like gum, but only after
we got to the good stuff at the bottom.
