A song that I am listening to

in FEATURES by

By Matthew Petit, Contributing Writer

My love,
is a little beast crouching
in the woods near a grove.

The sycamore trees yawn at her presence;
the sun dapples against her brown fur.

When I visit her, she holds out her black hands,
cupped, wanting a crumb.
Instead, I give her an apple.

Do you like it?
No, she says, it is not a crumb.
It is sweeter.

But it is not a crumb.
