Literature Text

I stare into the garden
She hides behinds the thorns
Would it matter if I loved her
If she's not aware at all?
Does it matter if I bleed,
meaninglessly torn?

I saw her in the garden
She slinks amongst the trees
Picking windfall apples
She offers one to me

Do I stay or leave?

Is the apple worth the trouble?

Is that a worm that I see?

All smiles and eyes,
breath,skin and lies,
scent of Eden,
in the garden.
I'd like to have an apple tree.
