Lemons and mulberries,
a little acid to elevate
a taste for the sweet—
to remind you
that joy sometimes arrives with a sting.
The perspective you earn
from climbing trees—
beyond scraped elbows and bloodied knees—
is the raw view of courage
and the sky pressed close.
There’s a price in sharing fruit
with a friend:
a piece of yourself
passed palm to palm,
always an open hand.
