My wife took an apple to work
this morning, hurriedly picking it
up and out of a plastic bag
on the kitchen counter, and though
she has been gone an hour,
the open bag still holds in a swirl
the graceful turn of her wrist,
a fountain lifting. And now I can see
that the air by the closet door
keeps the bell-like hollow she made
spinning into her winter coat
while pushing her apple through a sleeve
and back out into the ordinary.

The phrase ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ appears in England for the first time in 1913. It comes from the book ‘Rustic Speech and Folklore, by Elizabeth M. Wright. ~ Page 230 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Mary_Wright
