Abstract
Prunus Avium Rosemary Rhodes Royston (bio) Graceful eating it is not— you must have muscle, desire an adroit tongue that twists and slides the pit to one side as teeth separate sweet meat. Do you spit before or after summer explodes in your mouth? The contemplative strips every flesh-bit from the pit, until as smooth as a river stone while fingertips seek the firmest in the bowl ever thankful for the fleshy drupe and its staining juice. [End Page 123] Rosemary Rhodes Royston Rosemary Rhodes Royston, author of Splitting the Soil (Finishing Line Press, 2014), resides in northeast Georgia. Her poetry has been published in journals such as Southern Poetry Review, NANO Fiction, The Comstock Review, Main Street Rag, Coal Hill Review, Flycatcher, Still: The Journal, Town Creek Review, and Alehouse.
