Swooning…somnambulating apple hunt, sweet and sour scenes of climbable trees. Dreaming…swinging, branches confront. Palm filling, chewing…night’s day to seize. Scent of white or red flesh in Autumn, squeeze delicately its outer dress of green, yellow, red. Gobbling to bones…cores surrounded by bees. Juice runs down my chin as I wake up in bed. 9/26/2021

A FAVE Kim. I started to highlight each favorite part, but of course I highlighted the whole thing.

Such a glorious sleep. Often what tastes, splashes, dribbles out of our dreams, are the juicy affections that we put into our awake moments. Wonderful imagery. Love it!

Who doesn't love apples? I used to die for an apple pie. No longer with all the diets I have. Lovely poem.

Desserts make us happy but often we must slip or be totally denied. Thanks, Victor!
