Cranberry Men



After the storm
The Cranberry Men arrived
Bobbed up & down
Bogged towards me

Red round and acerbic
You just know they are full of Vitamin C 
And tart
But dull and slow at the same time

The ponding from the high water
Brings them to me
I can’t swim or even walk in the surging flow
But they remain on top
Brightly rolling and dipping

And coming towards me
