Peach

If it'd been me in Eden
The snake would have been holding
A peach
Not an apple
 
Apples are hard
Crunchy
 
Peaches are tender
Dripping and running down your arm
Juicy-sweet
With an aroma
That makes my mouth water
 
I can eat just one apple
 
But when I see a peach tree
Hung with golden-pink fruit
Turning to burgundy
At the peak of ripeness
I’ll eat two, even three
And still I want more
 
Yes, indeed,
For me,
Temptation is no apple
It’s a peach
