Orange

Oranges are my sadness fruit

Peel it, expose its soul

expose yours

dissect its insides

turn-over your thoughts.

“I have a new girl-friend”

It’s a Valencia orange

the most common variety

found at your local super-market

his wife, my mother, died 2 months ago

“She’s 10 years younger”

separate the quadrants

tear the rind

into little bitty pieces

“She has a daughter”

bite into the juicy mess

that no longer resembles an orange

sweet AND sour

but  mostly sour

(I just brushed my teeth)

“She’s 6, her name is Jubilee”

I left him when I was 6

I came to Cali when I was 6

I've lived in Orange County since I was 6

The juice is all on my hands

my shirt, dripping off my chin

“I am so glad God presented her to me.”

I am so glad God presented me this fucking orange.
