“Keeping the Faith,” “Vespers,” and “Ganymede”

Elias Appleby

Clean into the next room.

“Ripe Grape,” “an Idyll for,” and “Flora&Fauna (3026)”

when sweetness was simple
fruit split easily

clear juice, spring air
round and right as a grape.

Hanging wires crisscrossing from the poles
The garage roof with its wall block the sight below

I am far too cold
I need a long shower
I feel like mold
