saskatoons

reach up and pull
down
berry laden branch

choose roundest
blue-red fruit
bring to mouth and
burst between teeth
onto tongue

sweet juice creating
this moment of intense
vibration

standing in warm sun
path beside
wide      river

quick current taking
this moment of berry joy with it
north and east

through prairie valleys
vein carrying lifeblood
of this land

just reach then                  and take
