I bought strawberries 

from a farm stand

bright red ripe fruit

that first bite

brought back memories

of my childhood

picking wild strawberries

one for the basket

two for me

sweet taste of summer

I was a hunter gatherer

foraging for food

in the warm afternoon sun

dirt under my fingernails

leaves in my hair

red stains on my shirt

I was a wild child 

wild strawberries

wild summer days

wild memories
