Poetry of the Week
O, to take what we love inside, to carry within us an orchard, to eat not only the skin, but the shade, not only the sugar, but the days, to hold the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into the round jubilance of peach.

Purveyed in plastic, Slimy, bite-sized squish. Peaches? Maybe. But no ice.

Article of the Week
