Apple // Arlene Ang

Apple

When observed from across the hallway,
it’s a heart on a plate. My roommate consumes

two hours to cut it: first in quarters,
then tenuous slices that find their vanishing

point on her tongue. She is a kitchen
inside the kitchen where there’s no place

to hide, no future but in thinning towards the core.

I was loving it until the abortion line... now I don't not love it... but it requires further consideration.

Curious:

Is that because you think it's poetically inappropriate, or because you're pro-life?
