Apple Cores

I wish that I had kissed you
in that magic moment
after
the summer night
had gone
and
before
the morning birds
had woken up
and nothing
thus everything
was sacred.

I didn't realize it then,
but now
instead,
on this Sunday afternoon
with a jar of peanut butter
and a Pink Lady
and Tender is the Night
and the thought
of you.
