Ceci n'est pas une poème



Magritte knew something right
about temptation. He never painted the apple
in front of the man--it's part of him,
unless suspended above: a ten-ton weight
among the wisps of cloud.

                                           And even now,
when looking at him, I often think of you:
how your face glowed like a shiny apple,
and how I hung, ready to drop into your lap.
