POEM OF THE WEEK
The Apple Tree By Wendell Berry In the essential prose of things, the apple tree stands up, emphatic among the accidents of the afternoon, solvent, not to be denied. The grass has been cut down, carefully to leave the orange poppies still in bloom; the tree stands up in the odor of the grass drying. The forked trunk and branches are also a kind of necessary prose—shingled with leaves, pigment and song imposed on the blunt ligaments of fact, a foliage of small birds among them. The tree lifts itself up in the garden, the clutter of its green leaves halving the light, stating the unalterable congruity and form of its casual growth; the crimson finches appear and disappear, singing among the design.
