Oh, My Darling!
Mexican sunset—
blood orange segments
on a sky-blue plate
Squeezing juice from tangelos—
your arms wrapped around mine.
Lushly green for miles...
fallen limes glisten,
scattered in the grass
Cedar garden bench—
we take turns to spoon
a ruby grapefruit.
Strumming his old guitar—
"Oh my darling, Clementine"
Tangerine orchard—
our hot, sticky kisses
this August night...
September 2007
