a market to begin the weekend
This morning, I jostled with chefs for pheasant eggs at the Union Square Greenmarket. With my dozen carefully placed in a separate bag, I made my way toward the strawberries,
gazed at sprays of elderberry flowers,
admired the graceful lines of whole heads of baby lettuce,
the excessive curlicues on a sign for beautiful cheese,
the bright lilies opening on another table,
near rainbow beet reminders of the double rainbows Brooklyn has glimpsed lately,
and tart currants that I will embrace another time—too tart for the sweetness of a holiday weekend ahead…
