After Einstein
Apples out of nowhere, apples that happened to be
in the neighborhood
falling all over themselves in a red beaded curtain.
The curtain parts:
we see a woman's buttocks, the long curve of her back
behind a waterfall of apples, liquid
over the beauty of her breasts,
clinging to her stomach, her thighs: this blush
she takes for granted - Eve
naked under the tree,
bending for the bruised ones.
