Description
Fruit that leans against the counter and won’t move. Winey in the bag before the grinder even hits it. Pours thick — coats the spoon, sits in the mouth like syrup. Underneath: dirt-floor earth. The root-cellar kind. Banana that’s been out a day too long. Spiced rum — the bottle your uncle keeps behind the socket set. Burnt sugar, the way caramel goes when you turn your back for thirty seconds. Cedar at the finish. Like the inside of a good toolbox.
City+ to Full City+. That’s where this one wanted to land.
The cherry did the talking. We just didn’t interrupt.
