CINDER-FRUIT, by PAUL JEAN TOULETPoet's Biography
First Line: Like the apple fruit Last Line: It is ashen. Subject(s): Apples; Fruit; Passion; Tantalus (greek Mythology)
Like the apple fruit Purple and gold That took firm root By Sodom of old
Or like the fruit Of Tartarus That was the loot Of Tantalus
My heart, so sweet Held in your passion, Open and see't: It is ashen.
