She took a bite of the apple
sealing doom grimly on the horizon
of the ocean rising and falling
as of someone breathing,
holding their breath too long
and sighing.
Another bite of the apple
exposes the seeds.
Perhaps they would learn
to grow beyond the mistakes
of the past blinding
ourselves to the ocean rising
and rising further still
downing out the past,
saving only one pious man
and his family biting
their own apples of future
destruction. But, a new
start for now.
An apple core browning.
None left for the biting.
Only seed hope is grinning
a new beginning.
My poor heart, the apple.
