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.<\/div>\n

I found there:
the sun & the
third thing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
~<\/div>\n
If you’re wondering about the “third thing”, I believe it could be a reference to a<\/div>\n
D.H. Lawrence poem from the 1920s about water,<\/div>\n
and the mysteries of Nature.<\/div>\n

A Third Thing<\/strong><\/p>\n

D. H. Lawrence<\/p>\n

Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one,
\nbut there is also a third thing, that makes it water
\nand nobody knows what it is.<\/p>\n

The atom locks up two energies
\nbut it is a third thing present which makes it an atom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
