to say anything
at first. An orange, peeled
and quartered, flares
like a tulip on a wedgewood plate
Anything can happen.
Outside the sun
has rolled up her rug
and night strewn salt
across the sky. My heart
is humming a tune
I haven't heard in years!
Quiet's cool flesh -
let's sniff and eat it.
There are ways
to make of the moment
a topiary
so the pleasure's in
walking through.
