farmer's market

Dorothy Lune

At the farmers market I stopped & stared at
the hazelnuts sitting in a red plastic basket.
Filled to the brim. The cast of amber & coral.
Ridges all over like miniature brains. I picked
out one that shivered on my fingers. The sticky
nutrients dripped off it onto my boots. Sizzling
in the background was oily fish & eggs in a pan.
I looked over in hunger. I basked in the odor of yolk.
