Putting Up Peaches

 How early

their hot skins slide

from the slippery flesh!

Fish-like slices

squirm and sink

into the syrup pond.

Yellow-orange sheen

swells

to naked red.

Smooth round cheeks

glow

as the curve

of a lowering sun.

Perfume rises.

Now caught

beneath firm lids

they peer through glass

like laboratory specimens

in a second life,

or imprsioned sea creatures 

languidly floating,

fated to be stroed

on some darkened shelf.
