POETRY | By Patricia A McGoldrick
The pear tree is languishing next door
Drooping with luscious amber globules
Laboriously tended
By our neighbour, Ivan, from Croatia,
Who boasts practically perfect purple plums
—the best in Canada—
slivovitz awaiting in the brown wooden baskets
while the scent of a pear plum crumble
wafts through the night air—
Put on the coffee…
Patricia Anne McGoldrick is a Canadian poet, writer, and reviewer.
