My Brightest Diamond-apples



sometimes in the springtime
i like to see the apple blossoms with you

sometimes in the winter
i like to see the snow falling with you

once we took apples from my grandfather’s tree
but i had nowhere to plant the seed
so we baked them with sugar and we ate them

sometimes on saturdays when it’s raining we do laundry
especially then i like to watch you fold so carefully the clothes
especially then i like to watch you move your fingers slow
