Magpie Tale 229
Down at the palengke
- the wet market -
fruits sit side by side
sometimes oranges, bananas
and rambutan with soft red prickles
but my favorite
mangos
long and smooth
sometimes sticky
heavy in my hands
smelling of gentle yellow
sometimes sour
but mostly
sweet

I bought some mangos at Walmart yesterday. They'll be tasty grilled, but not the same as fresh from the palengke, I'm sure. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteAh, some new words for me, and I love the idea of a smell being gentle yellow. This is a vivid and exotic (for me) picture you paint.
