Wild Apples
Wild apples rose at dawn hanging over me where I would wait for you, my love, in autumn’s light
I loved you more than I can say
When we finally stopped almost all the little apples were gone and dawn’s magic darkened into cold
I’m terrified... can’t stop your aching descent into madness must stop my roiling, anxious heart
With a new summer gone Dawn’s wild apples will return but you are lost to me forever
