The Orange

The peel is soft.

Smoothed ridges,

Dips and peaks.

Tear at the skin-

Reveal its succulence-

Moist, tender.

Tiny fleshy bubbles

Seared open, reveal

The sweet,

Luscious liquid that lives within.

Juices flow over your fingers

And drip from your chin

Drip.

Its fluid nourishes you-

Makes you feel satiated-

Refreshed.
