Nectarine

During a golden summer like honey dripping from a spoon,
The nectarine tree dropped plump beauties into our hands.
After a long afternoon of swimming, nothing tasted better.

The nectarine tree is gone with disease and rot.
Now avocado and kumquat grow.
While it’s not the same – it’s still good, you know?
