CREST
TOUGH skin on the mango
a protective covering
no way to catch a glimpse inside
touch and smell my only guides
Its yellow skin, enticing
I buy two mangoes
yearning for a way into
summer’s abundance
or, at LEAST, expand our optionsHome, on the kitchen counter
they sit – these reminders
that sunny, exotic places do EXIST
far from our tentative spring
where waves CREST and crash
on tropical shoresGeorg’ann
PAUSE cherry blossom
explosion of pink
FRESH dirt receives
your molted CRESTHeather
