containers


with my love
sweet fruit daily shared
how long will it be
till the boxes are empty
and our mouths dry?

I like the ambiguity created by the apples in the picture and your text.
Very touching poetry.

Wow, I love this! I picked apples one season and it's a lot of hard work, but well worth it. Enjoy your apples ;)
