Raspberries. How do raspberries mentor a poem?

By color.
By timbre. Yes, sometimes raspy.
By design. Recalling the work of honeybees and their hives.
By taste. A poem must feel just so in the mouth.

By example. Exemplary of the ripe.


Breakfast soft corn tacos

mix: raspberries, golden cherry tomatoes, snippets of basil, cubes of queso fresco, a twist pepper


warm the corn tacos over stove's flame (electric? out of luck)

fill

enjoy.

the poem will soon reveal its color, timber, physicality, and above all, ripeness

    does not know how to feel
