 Apple Montage 

 Sneaking around 
 with Cousin Jenny, 
 smoking menthol 
 beyond the sheds. 

 Late summer vacation 1973 
 in the backwoods of Tennessee. 

 To the right 
 behind the barn 
 were apple trees. 

 There were several 
 of those trees 
 and other trees 
 behind them 
 beyond a field 
 and behind them, other trees. 

 Later, I stood near 
 as a crowd 
 watched Pops and my Uncle 
 cooking apple butter; 
 stirring the brown gunk, 
 boiling in a huge black kettle. 

 I saw my father 
 secretly pass 
 a wine bottle 
 to my Uncle Clarence. 

 I went from 
 breathing cold mist 
 out back behind the barn, 
 to breathing 
 the hot misty steam. 

 The air smelled of apple fumes 
 and strong booze.
