The Memory of a Peach

Think of peaches
Think of nectarines.
Winter's bare branches are a stiff denial, but fruit--
think of that dream color,
a happy detour
into the possible, how now
the summer seems improbable
and geese
are always heading North.
Buildings in the city ruminate
and decay while
the memory
of summer haunts and tempts,
toys with the imagination
like a dream.
