Fly Away Home

V - Mulberry and Elderflower

Plastic cups, bite marks

Jam and butter, tartine et chocolat

Long walks and mulberry trees

dropping their fruit, such largesse!

Horses and flies, grazing in the

sun of such a fine summer as

home could offer, melting chocolat

dans la chaleur, sore sunkissed shoulders

elderflower champagne and

elderberry stains on white.
