Cherries

cherries

red, sweet, lips smiling

a little smearing

cherries

expensive, small, and sweet

a little swollen with heat

stem in and stem out

ripped and twisted

chewed and pitted

spit out and left with

red, bitter lips cracking

and eyes leering

cherries

cheap, small, and bitter

swollen and withered

no more cherries

only filled diaries

left when he finished the

cherries
