Making Guacamole

Round and smooth
orange red
playing sunset
in azure pail
holding hands
with moonlight 
slices
gifts of pearls 
from the earth
dancing peppers
hot and horned 
kicking out
garlic smell
sunlit squeezed
lemon lime
sparkles from
sea salt beds
lacey fragrance
green cilantro
apple cider
gold coriander
oil, cumin  
peppercorn
avocado
pit and all
rainbow spread
on folded rounds
juicy jewels
on crunchy crown.
