The wilfulness of Apples

A breeze ripples pinkwhite blossom
stars lean down from space

Apple

APPLE

I bit into the apple

A burst of spring rain

and an explosion of blossoms

filled my mouth

I tasted the footprints of honeybees

long summer days

and the brightness of the autumn sun.

By forgingpaths

i can still hear the crickets chirping and frogs throaty rumbles,

but something in the cool stillness of the air tonight

gives weight to the anticipation of tomorrow-

summer is slowly slipping to a close.
