Apple Poems
Unburdened
by Benjamin Wolf
Like a freshly fallen fruit on the forest floor you are shining, and clean, and new.
Your skin still soft and unblemished as you land in the gentle hands of a thousand blades of grass.
You roll and roll and see such sights among a golden sea of dandelions and wonder at the marvels that surround you. A soft rain hastens you along your way, cold and refreshing like shade on a summer day.
Then the rain slows and you along with it, until you’ve stopped completely.
Days and nights pass like lightning in a storm as you wait and wait and wait and wait for something more to come.

the apple that ate eden
by atef ayadi
it started as a bite.
a logo.
a symbol of rebellion,
slick enough to sell back to the rebels.
but this isn’t eden.
it’s the showroom.
and everything here
costs more
than you think.
