I loved you
I loved
Sleeping along side you
Listening to you breathe
Basking in your presence through the night
Seeing in the morning you were real
Sharing berries at breakfast with you
I’ll be damned — you were larger than life
And your walking away — without a goodbye — a most epic plot twist
A pie in the face afterall
You can’t deserve me
Leave on your shoes, eat berries
Stay in the bramble

Sharing berries
I delighted in that
Like a bear, you’d be eager
There was ease, nothing forced
Your burly hands gently receiving raspberries
Blueberries beckon you morningtime still
Because The Apple
To the squirrel who pilfered
To the rabbit who skulked
I stand by my poison pen
Gone be the peaches I nurtured since spring
Struck down, the sweat-sown echinacea
The day-long and long night, again and again
The witnesses to the crimes against friend
But rather than hate, abate, terminate
I give gratitudinous nod
To berry, bean, basil
And rose
See, me and my pen
Befriend, overcome
Thus, conquering peskiest pests
