**Duality**

With all the reverence I hold for the apple,
I praise the grape—

The grape,
A seeker in retreat,
Devoted to silence
In its earthen shrine—

So that I may forget
The apple’s dual nature:

That in paradise
It was the forbidden red fruit,
And on earth
It’s hailed as the green fruit of heaven!
