ambrosia named

praise the smell
of peaches
rising
up from the bowl

not quite ripe
just yesterday
today
they fill the whole room

have you smelt
the peaches
hold a moment
inhale them right now

let them fill
your senses
with the fragrance
that’s all around you

peaches

nectar

peaches
ambrosia your name

today
they fill
this small world
entire
