it’s over a(see just

it’s over a(see just
over this) wall
the apples are(yes
they’re gravensteins)all
as red as to lose
and as round as to find.

Each why of a leaf says
(floating each how)
you’re which as to die
(each green of a new)
you’re who as to grow
but you’re he as to do

what must(whispers)be must
be(the wise fool)
if living’s to give
so breathing’s to steal—
five wishes are five
and one hand is a mind

then over our thief goes
(you go and i)
has pulled(for he’s we)
such fruit from what bough
that someone called they
made him pay with his now.

But over a(see just
over this)wall
the red and the round
(they’re gravensteins)fall
with kind of a blind
big sound on the ground
