Apples

They aren’t wild apples; once, this was a field or an orchard, and a human hand planted this tree.  Now, alders and hawthorn grow up around it in thickets so I am surprised, when I stumble through here, to see the perfection of this fruit.  The tree just keeps on doing its tree job, feeding us, humans or deer or yellowjackets, without prejudice.
