Of course one can't help but associate the scents of sex also with the apple scent and since poetry, like the sense of smell, is so evocative and taps into deep memories I find this all the more powerful.

Aw, what a fantstic line - "These memories keep the scent of insignificance at the door." Such real memories you describe - no-one could doubt for a moment the honesty and passion of these images. And the integrity of your committing them to a poem. And the final sentiment is so truthful, wise. A real knock-out poem, John - brilliant. X

Excellent - so much stuff in here that is usually seen as taboo. Love it.

very well written, honest & evocative.
I wonder if it would be too much too hope for a poem on WOL giving us a girl's eye view of those teenage fumblings ??

Hopefully, the apple serves as an allusion too, Elaine.
Cheers for the comments.
Small disclaimer: I don't have a sister.
