Bananas get riper
faster in the summer
and the party across
the way before the
police come
night and voices
shout talk I
can't decipher but I
can hear the insects
close at hand as
I clear away the
dishes and smell the
mangos ripening on
a dish on the kitchen
table.
You took me right into your street, your kitchen. The ripening fruit beginning and end is great - each with their own aromas.
