Wild Blackberries

Wild Blackberries.
Ripening delicacies…
with a spectrum that varies
in a thorn laden thicket
of luscious wild blackberries
Growing among tall
free growing weeds
strewn with the remains
of rain soaked rotting trees
The splendid seedy delectables
are gathered with a restrained squeeze
cautious not to inflict trauma...
placed into a cupped palm with ease
Playful patches of sunlight
filter through swaying shade
dancing… sporadically, intensifying
then tending to dim and fade
Focusing on a twined
vine… suddenly becoming aware
of aliveness… exhibiting an
intent-fully territorial stare
With a backward step
it has become quite clear
Now is time to conclude
berry picking and get out of here
