Contributor Series 8: Feast and Famine, First Fruit

Contributor Series 8: Feast and Famine
First Fruit
By Stan Galloway

What did it look like, that first fruit?
Pleasantness took on the concrete
form of an apple like shook foil.

What did it feel like, that first fruit?
Tactile, its peel sent a warm wash
waxing inside of a steel trap.

What did it taste like, that first fruit?
Sugarnut, laced with a tart tang
stunning your senses with misplaced sense.


Stan Galloway's most recent poem to appear at vox poetica was Elephant and Egret (March 2011).
