Insightful rinds:

The night-apples stood round and ripe
eagerly so, timid souls began to pick for the sighing bright.
Yielding gestures of those who take flight
scorned themselves blindly
under a ladder, swinging over soughed rinds.
Yet, beyond the twilight
night-apples would be cut;
wandering and singing in the evening.
