Description
For my dear, sweet friend Anna Freeman who left several months into the pandemic in 2020: Your leaving left a bitterness on my tongue like the cancer that took you/ Your friendship gave the sweetness only a true girlfriend could/ I tried giving you the Santa Rosa Plum, the Dry Creek Peach and the backyard apricot of no particular lineage/ You said, I like the Stony Point Strawberry the best, it’s tastes like summer/ Oh, my Anna-Berry/ As I prepare the fruit for canning/ Sterilize the jars/ Mix in the ingredients/ And watch the alchemy boil up from the pot/ I fill each jar with your memory/
