Love & Lemons

~

o

sugars & milk,

steaming hot: latte art.

black & bitter, made silk;

love awakens cold hearts.

stormy clouds, silver shade,

goosebumps, kissing cool rain;

spooning s y r u p, ice-shaved,

rainbow sprinkled, numbs pain.

thickets, thorns, berry vines,

biscuit blankets, dulce —

sour/tart, turned divine,

even lemons,

sorbet.
