Black Berry
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Under a big tree in a bush
Sparkling black fruit one of berries family
Embraced by hills and trees
Cherished by neighborhood flowers
Already ripped ready to eat
Whenever I am alone I relished visiting you
I take my time gazing at you
Protect yourself from the flying birds over you
Selected berries are rubbed and packed
Landed at market place for enjoyment
You left as a wild plant in the bush
Yes, this is a rule of nature
One goes on an unpaved narrow road
The other take the milky way to galaxy
Oh, you black berries in the Hill of Mill Valley
Still passionate to earth?
About this poem
Some years back, I lived in Mill Valley, walking around I observed many things, among many what impressed me was black berries grown with no care.
