The Orchard

we argue over apples

argue on about

the red or green
or in-between

sweet or tart

small or large

crisp or crisper

feud over the blemishes

and bruises

how many to buy

cost per pound

and in our weekly calculations

our sweet punctuations

we agree on

our love of apples

their blossoms trembling

like a lover drifting

in a silken

breeze
