🍎

To all living things.

Love is a sickness.
With a sweet scent, it beguiles the heart,
And within the crimson fruit, it harbors a longing.

Therefore, man laces it with poison.

For the beloved. For the cherished.
For the one with whom you wish to remain.

That longing is no light thing.
If it be a passion that consumes the very soul, it becomes poison.
The recipient must consume it.
Only by accepting the suffering and the pain into one's own body
Does it become proof that the giver's feelings have been received.

Thus, to refuse the Poison Apple is not to refuse the fruit,
But to refuse that person's feelings—to refuse the person themselves.

And so, the season of apples arrives once more.

Humans and non-humans alike,
Clutching the secrets hidden in their breasts,
Reach for the crimson fruit.

—To whom will you give your apple?
