Blue Stained Teeth

pregnant with flavor
blueberries pulling at the mammary branch
ready to release

they drop
onto your tongue
crushed by blue-stained teeth

they roll
down deliciously 
deserting
the tree

apropos applauding
seasonally

With me it was raspberries, but I can read this poem, substituting raspberries for blueberries and it makes all kinds of sense and brings back my childhood summers with purple stained fingers.
