My Orange Tree

 

The image of my son, sunning, eyes closed,

stretched out on a lounge chair,

orange peel piled up on his chest,

 

mimosas in crystal, fresh-squeezed in a cup,

sweet slices with buttered bread for lunch,

 

with bright mini globes

smiling from the green dark

and white petal fragrance

bolder than whispering

 

the names of things we love.
