When melons aren’t ripe
or are dreaming inside seeds
I’ll be missing them.
This summer’s lunches:
a salad, an egg, pickle,
and chunks of melon.
Watermelon red,
cantaloupe and honey dew:
sweet and thirst-quenching

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
