your laughter is a gift
like windfall apples
but twice as sweet
though apples bury me
in thoughts of how a glut
is often followed
by a barren spell –
no apples on the tree

Seeing the light
It’s a tired old metaphor,
the one about the lightswitch,
and the effect the beloved
has on the lover
upon entering and leaving
a room.
Sometimes I wish you’d never
introduced me to the light.
Then again, sometimes I think
I need a softer bulb.
