Apricocks...
Be kind and courteous to this gentleman;
Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;
Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;
The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees,
And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighs
And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes,
To have my love to bed and to arise;
-Shakespeare: Midsummer Night's Dream

Tonight, bright and white As madness, the Moon Makes bones of the trees, Opens my wounds Like a laser.
Tonight, clear and sublime as ice, the light Pierces through the night To expose my heart And all its broken memories.
