Green apples
producing a corrosive dew.
Coating my dog,
the bark is attacked
and his bite becomes a whimper.
On the back of a birthday card
Trees by Eve
planting seeds that would later
try to tempt us.
Kerosene followed from the roots,
so we lit it, and burnt the tree
which withered and died at the thought of me.
