Apples. Smoldering
In the grass.
Stained with
Pigeon smoke.

Smoldering, the
Apples cut in
The air- pigeon
Pecked- moss
Stink.

In the Mouth
Of pigeons-
Apple smoke-
Smoldering like
Grass fire.

The moss taste
Of man
Between the
Tongue- tooth-
The jaw stained.

The moss taste-
Skin of man,
A tongue pressed
To tooth, jaw
Stained with dew.

Moss taste-
Mangled into the
Skin- a man's
Tongue pressed
Against tooth,
Dew stains throat.
