  • Apples For Oranges
    A bright splash of dimpled skin
    swallowed by the saline blue
    drifting lazy towards the past
    A taste not sharp, but free and true
    Eve hands the fruit before me now
    Teeth marks dent flesh a crimson hue
    The Earth below lays cold and violent
    to that easy love and Sunrise dew
    Johnny sowed their seeds for miles
    Pilgrim bite the hand that feeds
    The taste of toil, living labour
    wholesome futures, others' greed's
    Tree of Knowledge, fire of life
    burnt the bliss of Eden first
    Sea of Secrets, salty grave
    Quench me of a lovers thirst
    She made a choice, she checked the box
    And danger crawled beneath these roots
    The vacant square behind the water
    still stocked with bright and dimpled fruits
    I'll never know, what it was for
    but I know that it was Beauty
    How much that means in larger schemes
    shall always just illude me
