the false sigh

our memory of yesterday
is never
quite what it really was.
we've shined
that apple nicely,
turning the brown bruise
away,
hiding the worm and rot.
but in the window, on
a white sill, least
for now,
those days were wonderful
and full of love,
let's pretend they were
fine, keep the apple
shined and ignore that
they were not.
