Transcribed Text:
cherries
when love on stilts picks its way along gravel paths and reaches the treetops
i too in cherries would like to experience cherries as cherries. No longer with arms too short, with ladders on which for ever on rung, just one rung missing, to live on stewed fruit and windfalls. Sweet and sweeter, darkening; A red such a blackbirds dream--who here is kissing whom, when love reaches treetops on stilts.
