Mulberry Kiss

Purple fruits hang low on the mulberry tree
Some lush, some slowly hardening 
Round tiny beads shining on a thin stem
Glistening like beads of sweat

Purple fruits have fallen from the tree
Ripe on the soggy ground
To be picked and plucked
And savoured by the swirling tongue

Purple fruits lie crushed and curled
Smeared in their own juice
Slowly oozing drops of nectar

Purple is the colour of satiation today.
