Oranges
May 9, 2022
Round, robin blue ceramic bowl
glistens ever so slightly in the light
of the slow setting summer sun.
These fruits are smaller than usual
this year, starved of nutrients
from the long lasting winter
they grew up in. They vary in tone.
Purples, greens, yellows
shine out of every pore.
A select few have long,
healthy stems. Their leaves are shy
and hug themselves. Even though
they grew up when the world was dead
and iced over, they now soak up
the warmth of the sun’s rays
and appreciate every moment
of sun they can see
before their time here ends.
