‘Cooker’

Apple tree
Once in open meadow
Grew
Now in
Urban garden
Fenced
Full of children
In branches
All trainers
And swing tyres
Bark caught
In hair
Wasps burrow
In fruit
Footballs held
Out of reach
In canopy high
Above a little boy
And girl
And their friends
How old are you?
Big and aged
Solid
Smelling
Of wood
With
Unknown variety
