Alone on a Tuesday.


Leftovers and a robe.


But something shivers on my neck and brings a glow,


so I light a fire.


A Coen song and a basket of oranges from an exotic place.


I love to peel them all the way down to the jewel.


I close my eyes and walk down to the river, barefoot.


Parts of me show that shouldn't,


like I'm somebody's laydee in waiting.


My body breathes a vapor and somewhere someone awakens and doesn't know why.


A shiver to the neck, a certain glow,


craving fruit and an urgency to peel something


all the way down to the jewel.
