Rubus
Sara Gonzales-Rothi
__________
Each drupelet an August delight. Borne of leaf litter, restored in frosty slumber, blossoming through the thaw, ripened in sun-bake. Betwixt pointer and thumb, then palate and tongue: delectable revelry. The morn stretches left. The eve, right. We find ourselves. Every need satisfied, here in the bramble.

Sara Gonzalez-Rothi is a lawyer by training, the Senior Director of Water at the White House Council on Environmental Quality by day, and a late-night creative by impulse. Cuban-Norwegian-American, neurodiverse, Florida-born, Maryland-replanted: but in all the universe and 24/7, her favorite title is Mom.
