Teachings

        I am yours, I am good.
        Break the apples from my bough.
        Pull me down, bite through my skin,
        Take me in your hand, suck my juices in,
        Widen your seeking mouth, wanting
        to know more.
        Eat of me.
        Taste knowledge in my flesh.
        Hold me on your tongue,
        Sacrament not sin.
