For Tania, Schnizhana, Irina,Lilia, Eva, Anna, Helena, Vadim
Our whole menu of milk––
fresh from a cow belonging
to grandmother––hear it drum––
into the pail of fairy tale
an everlasting,pie––
no cinnamon––more apples than dough
sugary plums for acidity.
Fruits to ground.
Want is a dirtlessglass. Big hard
juicy apples fallen over Ukraine, bite.
Chew to transform.
