Lost and Found Valentine

One red and yellow

McIntosh apple mobbed

by volunteer tangerines

death insists on the juice

of living to earn some

credit for the earth

the redemption of orange

in childhood calls

for its own disease

the last one I picked

the actual atmosphere

was wrapped in

delicious past delicious

your poem nothing

left in my glass.
