Apple Tree Requiem{br}

by Auguste Hand{br}

Jamie loved the apple tree
growing near her bedroom,
she left the window open
when the tree blossomed,
the fragrance of Spring
brought sexy dreams
of her lover Nils, the tree’s
sturdy branches a ladder
Nils climbed to sneak into
Jamie’s bed, quietly leaving
with help from that apple tree.

Jamie and Nils returned years later
to visit their old neighborhood
on a warm sunny day in Spring.
As they walked around the block
Jamie spotted her old apple tree,
far fewer branches with a scarcity
of blossoms to scent the air,
the apple tree was dying...
Jamie hugged Nils and wept
at the forlorn state of her favorite tree.

Nils knew just what to do,
“Jamie we must celebrate
your apple tree, procreate vigorously
to inspire your apple tree to bloom more
blossoms, make lots of juicy apples
for cider and pies and tarts!”
Nils led Jamie to the softest spot
beneath her apple tree, gave her such
a seeing to that apple blossoms
rained on their extravagant fucking,
Nils powerful thrusts coupled with
Jamie’s body slams shook the very earth...

the finale of the apple tree requiem,
the lovers’ carnal appetite replete.
