Cheerful With Cherries

cheerful with cherries
sending the pits
scurrying into a bag

passionate red
sweet juice
like love’s nectar

round gems, plump.
their vacuous space
hide Cupid’s arrows

oh joy of each bite
blissful prayer
better than candy

pitting takes work
yes marriage too
worth it - mais oui!*
