Apple Field Afternoons

Melodies swirl
in our checker-lined baskets
and we remember
the apple field afternoons
when the sun shone on our signet rings

seize this, the hour
when the fruit ripens,
it is no coincidence
that we are standing by
waiting for them to fall

our captive eyes
have been fixed upon them
for years
