I love the tastes in this, the duality of the fruit image used, but not squandered, even the slightest touch of vertigo. Holding on to the branch, whatever one's particular branch happens to be, is always at the forefront of the poet's mind, is it not? You did an excellent job of appreciating the fruit without needlessly plucking it. Thanks for sharing this tender fragment with us. |
