Eat a Peach

We went out with the dogs, she and I, just as evening spread out against the sky, as the heat of the day lifted, leaving a cool breeze behind.

We walked across the soccer field and around the track and back. And when we got home, as she stood in the kitchen reading her phone, the fair and industrious Trudy asked me, “Wanna eat a peach?” 

My taste is coming back, but nothing’s quite right yet, although it must be said that it’s much better than it has been. And so, I thought I might take her dare and eat that peach. 

And I can just tell you this: that peach let loose the most wondrous sensation in my mouth that I have ever in my life experienced.
