and on the top of everything
were seven beautiful clown's nose
strawberries.. bold, bright, old glory
red, with dozens of freckles
and a taste that can only be compared
to summer days with you at our house,
fresh, satisfying, good for me
in every way, juicy-ripe.
Bite into a strawberry,
and what you find inside
is a heart.  Go look.
What you find inside
is a heart that was just waiting
for you to set it free.
