LITTLE RED PLANET
LITTLE RED PLANET
Like a perfect little planet
the tiniest strawberry of ever & ever
sat in the universe
of your palm
us two
nothing but specks
(you in a blue dress)
in the middle of the hugest field
in the world
green as
Forever is.
“Eat it..! ”
you laugh
“...in one bite! ”
Offering me the little red planet
in the universe of your open hand.
I lap at it
licking up the taste of it
intense as
the taste
of ever & ever is
the deliciousness
of your laughter
but the money
in the meter of memory
runs out
and the loveliness
of your laughter
delicious as
a little red planet
(the salty tang of your hand)
hides
once again
in the mystery of Time
