Persimmons MAG
January 21, 2015
I yearn for the taste
of the persimmon fruit
The one markets seldom carry
wanting the bitter sweetness
of the ombré orange-red
Not too harsh on the lips
just light enough to satisfy
like a sunset peering
over green hills and mountains
crimson light bright
squinting, staring, crying
at the dying warmth
of the rare red blaze
and the bittersweet taste
of tears
