Your thighs are appletrees
whose blossoms touch the sky.
Which sky? The sky
where Watteau hung a lady's

are a southern breeze--or

anything. Ah, yes--below
the knees, since the tune
drops that way, it is
one of those white summer days,
the tall grass of your ankles
flickers upon the shore--
Which shore?--
the sand clings to my lips--
Which shore?
Agh, petals maybe. How
should I know?
Which shore? Which shore?
I said petals from an appletree. — William Carlos Williams
