Tom Prato - Still Life

On a white porcelain plate
A bunch of green translucent grapes,
Two Washington apples with a knife –
Scene from still life.

Yellow bananas poking out
Of a bamboo wicker bowl,
Firm, sleek-skinned, glowing –
Lighting up the soul.

In a saucer, sitting tight,
A dark purple plum
(Swelling with pride)
Screams for a bite.

Tom Prato
