Asparagus

Asparagus

Soft yet firm
the green of ferns
or the yellow green
of your favorite spring

marinaded
from the fridge:
runs to nutty

steam cooked:
slight bitter
bites toward sweet
and lush

And I am not loath
to admit
that in my store
of asparagusiana
tastes and sensations

there is even a time
when I like them..
...
squishy!
