Then There Was No More I take the apple, bite into it as its flesh touches teeth-- the noise catches his attention turning, eye to eye I swallow slowly to hide my cache-- his eyes plead and I offer half of what is left, savoring his gift he nods in gratitude, then another hears the flesh touch his teeth-- eye to eye he offers half of his cache, the other nods in gratitude-- then another hears the savory chewing, but now there is no more to share Robert L. Giron (Arlington County, VA) is the author of five poetry collections and two award-winning anthologies. His poetry has been published in three recent anthologies, covering: gay poets, poets from around the world and Latino poets in the Washington, DC area.
