Blood orange limes
Yes, true limes with the skin and flesh the color of blood oranges. And yes, the taste also. How does this relate to poetry? Occasionally (very) a poem and/or a few words coalesce into something shockingly new. Shockingly good. And, yes, memorable. Sometimes, small as a lime with a fire-red coat.

Last New Year's eve, the long lean hounds
ReplyDeleteran across the wet field in pursuit of a rabbit.
We stood around as if it were going to end.
It is still dark when I take my yellow lantern
and crawl along the rocks by the sea.
Anyone who looked could see a reflection of faraway places.
