Eating Berries

I didn't know the name, having only read that
other red berries are edible and they tasted sweet,
so sweet.
the red juice stained my fingertips, my lips
finally found their proper color
naturally.
Thimbleberries, followed by currants,
then serviceberries,
the bears fill their berry-large bellies
happily this season in the forest,
as do I, only saving a small handful
to share later with the one I
love.
