Our ritual

You were sitting in my grave 
that day, and smiling like you
always do. 
Which I had
for the first-time seen. 

I'd hand an apple out to you, if 
I had picked one
on the way.
Your

outstretched hand
held apple green. 

Your smile told me: seize the day! 

"Thank you!" I claimed,
and plucked "Just what I
wanted!" from your grasp,
at last.

Then looking fast
upon that hard 
and rounded
sheen, I grew

confused. 

"This is for you,
grave apple queen."

Your troubled smile, 
first I'd ever seen,
grew wide enough
to fall

into and dream.
