And when the peddler cries strawberries
That's when my heart replies, strawberries
Love tastes like strawberries

   ~Solomon Sanders

in the dead of winter  
he brought me strawberries  
deepest cold night  
he fed me red    
stained my lips  
with smiles

in the dead of winter
he brought me strawberries  
circled my wrist with
slender silver words
tousled my hair

oh happy gifts

but
when he rose to leave
he took something with him

I enjoyed this very much. You have an excellent way of saying much with few words... and with the words you choose a most interesting allegorical vision.. that is created one vision for some... but perhaps a different one for another (me included)... in any event your work is very enchanting and I look forward to reading more (and perhaps searching for that special vision).

Would you have had it any other way?
I love the way you weave your words...
