Glimpsing the Apple My presence goes unnoticed; I am just a glass peephole. You, beneath the sunlight, with a crawling cigarette grin – I am in a delicious plight. You are a red, shining apple; A taboo fruit for my tongue. Your hair catches the wind, flying freely, releasing my dove – You are not easily won. I shall absorb you like a spy; Little quirks my life’s work. Your aura has me pinned, Tiny Tom Thumb opened my eye – O, to haunt you like a fly.
