from â€œThe Taste of Appleâ€
Â Â Â Â Â I could hardly see as he hoisted the great swaying body aloft
Â Â Â Â Â and bore it across the road to the hole and in the cold dark I poured
Â Â Â Â Â a libation of apple juice for the earth to welcome his corpseâ€•
Â Â Â Â Â some drops spilled on his chestnut flank and some dribbled
Â Â Â Â Â on his cheek and splashed onto his yellow teeth as he lay
Â Â Â Â Â deep on one side and my hand shookâ€•I could hardly seeâ€•
Â Â Â Â Â rocking my grief back and forth over this kind death
Â Â Â Â Â the taste of apple wasting in his mouth.
