Jammin' This time of year brings sweet to taste clinging barely to vines of green. Before the birds devour more, I'm quick to jam, the purple scene. Pots and pans and ladles three bubbling, boiling, toiling I. Sugared down, jelled and jarred replacing last years jam supply. Counting minutes to the chime, stealing licks between the beat. Jammin' leads my lips to taste the purpled substance, gooey sweet. Finally the last was filled with mess to clean, and lights to out. Just one more day of crushing grapes when tomorrow comes about. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |
