Because it was high noon of the twelfth day
of the twelfth month of my year of years,
and because I, too, heard Aleppo's bells
and saw a haloed face within the sun-paled bay,
and because you looked, our moment nearing,
into widening eyes with wonder--we could not tell
that somewhere in the orchard
an apple fell
unheard.
