Sunlit orbs of knowledge
burden the branches
of the forbidden tree
Citrus is sinful
but apples are slightly less documented as deceitful
than most may believe
The leaves and branches wrap around me
supporting and holding my every intention
Leaning they warm to receive me
offering their colourful spherical babies
as they outgrew the abundance of siblings in orbit around them
Tearing the crust from the orange globe in my hand
I reached the soft wet and succulent core
ate, and grew wise
