Apple trees along the dark road at night

Apple trees along the dark road at night
Drop their fruit into the ditches
And deer come to eat the fruit – it is not yet
The frozen winter, it is a cold autumn for the deer,
For apples that will freeze through and still be eaten in the ditches.
This changing of the seasons is brutal and no one cares.
These natural forces seem not to compete with money and technology.
