Strawberrying

Eyes as blank as a slate,

With a hunger to satiate –

I go to garden’s gate –

With vines delicately interlaced.

 

A strawberry lane awaits,

I pick them into my crate –

A bubbling body with taste,

With a fluid rich - it pulsates.

 

Hands wash each ruby sedate –

Leaves set to decapitate,

A slice, a dice, a blade.

A corpse upon your plate.
