SUNDAY MORNING APPLES

(1922)

To William Sommer

The leaves will fall again sometime and fill

The fleece of nature with those purposes

That are your rich and faithful strength of line.

But now there are challenges to spring

In that ripe nude with head

reared

Into a realm of swords, her purple shadow

Bursting on the winter of the world

From whiteness that cries defiance to the snow.

A boy runs with a dog before the sun, straddling

Spontaneities that form their independent orbits,

Their own perennials of light

In the valley where you live

(called Brandywine).

I have seen the apples there that toss you secrets,—

Beloved apples of seasonable madness

That feed your inquiries with aerial wine.

Put them again beside a pitcher with a knife,

And poise them full and ready for explosion—

The apples, Bill, the apples!
