An Apple

Baolin Cheng

Subconsciously
She puts an apple
On the end of her thighs

A green light

Allows my eyes
To stay there longer decently
I’m looking at a part in her body
Where I should have avoided

A few minutes later
She puts the apple
Back on the desk
Nothing has changed
Except its color

Following the red apple
Now I remove my eyes
From that part of her body

Only the fragrance of fruit
Remains on the end of her thighs
Its sweetness permeates
The soft fabric there

 

Both offered good comments. Thank you. For Aihua: 1, "the green light 'used in a single line to hint  that the green apple functions as a green light ( pay
attention to the last line in the fourth stanza.) If she were driving, she
couldn't play the apple; if the narrator were driving, he couldn't steadily
look at her body, so obviously it happens in a room. 2. " steadily" is better,
as it saves a word to make this line shorter. I may adopt your suggestion. You
are great!Thank you.
