I took the apple
from where it fell
& went down
under the grass
under the pasture’s last
wave of
goldenrod light
where the mole’s
inner sanctum lies
where the apple seed
is a bead of sweat
in the cool earth.

I found there:
the sun & the
third thing.

If you’re wondering about the “third thing”, I believe it could be a reference to a
D.H. Lawrence poem from the 1920s about water,
and the mysteries of Nature.

A Third Thing
D. H. Lawrence
Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one,
but there is also a third thing, that makes it water
and nobody knows what it is.
The atom locks up two energies
but it is a third thing present which makes it an atom.
