CINDER-FRUIT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Like the apple fruit
Last Line: It is ashen.
Subject(s): Apples; Fruit; Passion; Tantalus (greek Mythology)


Like the apple fruit
Purple and gold
That took firm root
By Sodom of old

Or like the fruit
Of Tartarus
That was the loot
Of Tantalus

My heart, so sweet
Held in your passion,
Open and see't:
It is ashen.
