Peach Gospel In the Cellar

in an old cellar mason jars
 full of canned sunsets line
  the shelves.

   ripened years ago. 

 they have names like
 sylvia's famous peach
  halves.

 Now the spiders have never 
weaved such eloquent sermons.

The dust is beautifully barren.

 untouched....

The preservation of sugar kept in shades of 
Orange and Sun burnt yellow.
