Betty O’Hearn, Cherries
Betty O’Hearn
CHERRIES
Red beauty, sweet anticipation
draw me in. Stem yielding from center,
flesh rolled between fingers.
I bite carefully, wait
to feel you explode.
Expensive, I know,
but you are better than chocolate,
and I am worth it.
Bio: Betty O’Hearn lives in Hickory, NC. Her previous work was in “Dead Mule”.
Congratulations, Betty, on your first published poem! A delicious one.
