… at the Garrett Park Farmer’s Market
this morning, round black Spanish radish.
Not as something to eat;
she knows nothing about
it as something to eat.
As something beautiful.
She bought six of them,
arranged them on a brown
plate with their turnipy
stems up, and put them
on the black table on her
wooden deck.
If the squirrels begin gnawing
them, fine. It’s all organic.

Adriaen Coorte might do something very nice with this arrangement.
