  1. The peach at maximum ripeness is like the moon at its greatest magnitude. Any more and there is putrefaction and bursting. Here though sweetness and mystery are at their peak.

    Ah, yes, overripe fruit and the large phase of the moon during harvest times.

    Very sensual on many levels.

    Thank you for the wonderful haiku.

    warm regards,
