This apple tree
must be the one
that Eve stole from
in that first garden
Gan Eden
Garden of Delight
the fruit so sweet
so luscious once
the first fall frost
has turned the pink
and yellow globes
to sugar candy
that the Creator
must have known
they never could
or would resist
those two
from whom we all
have learned
to savor sweetness
all the more
when there is just
a hint of tartness
in our love
as in the taste
of these sweet fujis
