In the Texas Hill Country, stands are set up on the sides of roads hawking “Fredricksburg peaches” by the pound. That was the inspiration for this week’s Typewriter Rodeo poem by Kari Anne Roy.
Texas Peaches
One bite
Just one
And the world is lost
Your eyes roll back in your head
And summertime
Explodes
On your tongue
Sweet trips to the coast
Long rides in the Hill Country
Texas
Imbibed
In one bite
One juicy moment
Where you
And the peach
And Texas
Become one
