Celeste

I named my apple tree Celeste after a litttle girl who was killed by her father. I chose the name to honour that girl, who I couldn’t get out of my mind, and because my apple tree is a delicate creature with fragile pink and white blossoms.

With Darkness encroaching,

Celeste

undressed,

her clothes scattered on the ground

like an apple tree losing her leaves.
