Nature And Rebellion

raspberry blue mould

Overripe raspberries glut into a turn
in only the third week of harvest
as daily drizzle slows any pickers
the crop begins to melt into
the ground like an ice cream
bought for you too early,
-before you could get there

the off-flavours increase in
a slur of dripping unberries
the softened fuzz of globules
changes colour till they make
blue whiskers and ducky hairdos
as rebellious as a good punk reaction
going bad in neglect in wet times.
