we froze
grapes
to battle
summer heat.
i fell in love
with the green
on your shirt
and the glimmer
in your dark
coffee eyes.
buzzing white
wine was our
sweet companion
little white lies
were our final
countdown.
july wanted
to stay forever
but september
pushed his hopes
aside.
She hadn’t seen a grape, much less a bunch of grapes, for a long time. She had forgotten what it tasted like when the vendor handed her one and told her to try it. It was sweet and she felt it was like sunlight from her childhood.
Years later, she would still remember the taste of that grape bubble gum long past the day they stopped selling it at the corner mart. That nostalgic childhood sweet only existed in memory now, but was comforting all the same.
