A RAISIN
Imagine a raisin
placed in your hand,
a gift for you.
You stare at the image,
seeing its barrenness,
and yet,
the clefts and ridges
draw you in.
Moonlike, it reflects
the light.
Iridescent!
like a peacock feather,
sparkling.
You feel its weight
touch it with a finger.
It resists your touch
a rainbow of fissures.
It fondles your lips,
odors redolent of wine
and earth.
Sends you to valleys,
then, gently, back.
Tasting,gently at first
the tongue exploring
then a dental teasing,
gently, softly.
Biting, flavors
overwhelming
then, gently, back
to its image.
