Spilled Berries, by Miranda Lynn Barnes

Raspberries, by William Mason Brown (USA) 1873.

Spilled Berries

The grass is parted here,
a small clearing of light
below the bush. 
The raspberries seem to be tumbling,
but are still;
too perfect, too real
rendered in the richness 
of oil paint,
                     too ripe.
The leaves, like a skirt, 
from above try to shadow
the gorgeous spill of berries 
                      round and open.
