There’s something about a lone apple tree
in a meadow where maybe
there once was a house, a cottage
with a stone chimney and a granite slab
step to the forest green front door
no one used even the doctor or midwife
who came in the night to deliver the first born
a son with golden hair and sea green eyes who
gathered each in their season bluebells
and poppies and ran with the deer
deep in the forest as young men will do
when summer becomes the harvest moon
and wheat in the fields is as tall
as the girl who lives down the road
and brings as her dowery linen and
quilts and the remains of her grandmother’s
tea set embellished with tender
pink apple blossoms.
