“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face.” ~Franz Kafka


Pretend in June,

Mediterranean figs,

Are purplish tear drops

 

Pretend in July,

Strawberries are your lipstick,

Run through the sprinkler.

 

Pretend in august,

Moon and stars pave the sky,

Like ripe apricots.

I wanted to represent the beauty and still movement of the summer fruit bowl in this piece.
