Parading

O, to take what we love inside,

not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach. —Li-Young Lee
the round jubilance of peach.
