Golden Delicious Apple Tree

By Maria Steinhauser
golden_apple_tree

You think my parts

are superfluous: you want

only what you want—nothing

more. First the pruning then

the thinning. I swallow the sun

into the opaqueness of the earth,

ignoring that you intended

for it to sweeten my fruit: but

I would never expose that part

of myself to you. Early morning

the coldness is a sign

that the days are growing

shorter; my apple can only be

tasted in the darkness

of your mouth.
