the bowl of strawberries


we moved the table
to the shade of the cherry tree
and ate the strawberries
with sugar and cream
because that is what you do
on a hot summer day
and when we returned, late at night,
it was still warm enough
to sit in the garden
and look at the milk-white moon

  1. Oh how lovely. I'm missing both the strawberries and the cherries on the plot this year. Definitely must plan my travels better next year. K x

    I looked at the same moon as you earlier that day. Alas, I did not have strawberries.
