A Mongrel of Man and Malus

this just kind of came out of nowhere. i was going to write something summarized the rabbit dream in a few lines, but this happened instead. fyi, 'malus' is a genus of trees, most notable for the crabapple tree, as well as serving as a ballin' homophone. there's your fun fact for the day. i will redo this one someday.

Little one, 
A question to ask:
Do you not know,
Binding weeds have foiled maturation?

          Teeth have bitten
          A heart unwritten.
          As an apple once bit,
          Learns twice to quit.



Little one,
It is no small task:
Do you not know,
Roots erred demand redemption?

          Ashes spat from tongue and cheek,
          Rewrite the man, however meek.
          His deviant deeds undone,
          Stitched, strangled and wrung.

Little one,
No longer ask,
For you now know,
As burgeoned limbs discover just fruition.
