Can you imagine falling naked
off the roof
with just clip on earrings to hold on to
and it’s nine in the morning
at your summer home
when do plums grow
it is still nine am but
where do they grow
and how
and is it okay to carry a plum
or leave it where you found it when you remember
you never liked plums?
Plums taste like summer while naked on the roof
and falling.
