the particular apple

they ate in slices having sat back,

wiped the cake knife on the edge

of the plate, peeled its long green skin,

and cut the pieces into pages,

left it ageing on the plate –

John, Sarah, Linton, Sharmilla, Gus,

Abdul, Lawrence, Wole, Akua, Carol,

Jo, Susan, Barbara –

don’t you love those pieces of apple,

the brown photograph they have become,

don’t you love that there is nothing

remarkable here, nothing that would

startle a state, but that it has been kept

anyway, noted, dated, numbered, placed

in acid-free Japanese boxes and lovingly

(as is tradition) laid without a casket.
