A is for Avocados

 

dawn; working out
what fifteen dollars
might buy at the Flea Market

finding a place to park
on a dry lawn

unexpected temptations
moon calendar
beside the kumura* plants

basil
a punnet of herbs
rumoured to keep flies at bay

flying off the stalls
strawberries, ideal for jam

avocados
an easily digestible food...
her last fifty cents


*kumara = sweet potato
