Mirabelle
İ asked a little boy if
under the gentle green roof
the wasps still hum their song
as he does battle for sting
and golden treasure
Does the liquor flow and fill
the room with heavy crashing waves
of smells, so sweet and pungent
that each battle wound seems like
the smallest price to pay
And does he bring them home,
To his mom and sisters, in exchange
For kiss and bandage
And does the Mirabelle Plum
taste just as sweet?
