apple

Fly shadow fly 
seeking another apple on outskirts of stages 
I will not move unanswered  
Powerful 
is my name 

Shadow flies whimpering
hosting another cloud filled with longing rhythms 
an audience seeking crystal droplets 
Showering 
like young poets  
              
Seeking another apple  
pear found instead, the bite poor verse 
whisper into tangled plaited hair 
Paperwork 
to translate longing 
                 
Outskirts of stages 
I did not move upon a shore
there lies my reddened core
Shivering 
a no return 

Search no longing 
sigma waves seek to moisten dry throat 
they float only my apple
Exposure
for your tongue
