“Blood Orange” by Kim Blair
sweet delicate pain
infuses a ripe
wounded flesh
taste of color
exotic to eye
and to tongue
touched by reverie
round in the rind
a skin pungent
familiar yet filled
with delightful
traumatic surprise
not unlike
private injuries
suffered by strangers
whose fruit
we might never
select or enjoy
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

You would crack up if you knew the current discussion Robert Okaji & I are having about food & poetry right now. Love this, Paul. The bittersweet.

Coincidentally I am, even as write, swigging on just the juice of the blood orange, neat and devoid of alcoholic addition. Fine poem, Paul.
