A very plum plum...




painting & poem © Jesús Montero

And on the death
Of not two,
But one summer’s day,
A very plum plum
I plucked from the plum tree.
My lips touched.
Like a honey-suckle
Doomed bee.
On the death
Of not two,
But one summer’s day.

  1. this post caught my eye because isn't 'a very plum plum' a quote from The English Patient?
