1. To My Daughter
In one afternoon
I wrote a long letter and sent a gift to You, my daughter
who are far away from me and just turned 16 years old
The choice apples throughout the ages
with their origins marked out one by one
One is from the distant East Eden
And a golden apple burning in a wedding banquet
Still another one handed into the dwarf’s window by an old lady
There is one that once appeared in Socrates’ class
