Sweet succulent cherries

As I placed
my face against her breasts

I felt two doves
each pecking a dark-red cherry.

A year ago in the early spring,
I had plenty of peaches and melons

and I savoured succulent cherries.

The spring is now back with old memories
but the doves seem not to be coming.

Ah! my peaches, my melons,
my sweet succulent cherries.
