To Eat A Peach

Spring is here.
The delicate tree blossoms replace
     the delicate white lights of Winter.
From the petals fruit will grow.

Pearlized pieces-- 
Not the plastic crap, 
Over-industrialized flotsam
that adorns clothing these days—

Eager hands fluttering like twin doves in flight,
Delivered buttons. 
His effort earned him...
