Conquered

so close
to harvest
time

your warmth
set firm
now

ripe and
ready
to be

with 
clean
feet and

penguin
toes to
turn

grapes
into
wine

Thanks Alkas. Actually mi Musa says her feet look like penguin feet; so I adore them even more. And, I was trying a word play on the grapes I grow are Concord; so thus "conquered". Silly me.
