Strawberries, Green Tea

BERRY MY HEART – strawberries and Celadon Pearl green tea with whiskey & Xocolco vanilla cast in Belize Pure Criollo Heirloom and Puerto Rico dark chocolates.

Bury my heart
I do not see
the blood-red fields
so far from me;
Emerald fields of
jade-green tea on
terraced mountains
far from me.
A hot damp forest,
a wide green leaf;
cacao pods filled
with sweet relief--
bury the hurt in
Life and Art,
never grief--
in your mind,
a sign.

I'm sorry I didn't have this ready
on time.
