"Green Apple"

x—x

The tart-crisp Granny tumbles out of his fingers. It spins on a pretty green axis around and around the ruddy-tan countertop before it falls.

Before it falls away.

Falls away towards my feet and single, cardboard suitcase.

"But it's not sour." He ducks to the dirty linoleum.

I itch a little bit. "Sora. Stop."

"Just give it a try." He scrambles on his knees and elbows looking for the waxen fruit that wobbles about in plain sight. "Maybe you'll enjoy it," his eyes glow water-clear as they fix upon my face. "And really what's the harm?"

Several times I gape my mouth.

"I'm not asking you to eat it all."

I rub on my arms; pick up my box—the graying wood-pulp fits, snug, in the crook of my hipbone—set it right back down.

"Please, Sora. No more."

We stare.

It takes me a while to say that I'll miss him.

"I won't write." Whittled-twig arms entrance my waist. "I won't, Riku."

They tremble towards me; clasp me against the slighter baby boy body that pushes to greet and grind me ever closer.

"I won't miss you at all." Sora whimpers.

"Yea." I touch him. "I know you won't."
