vivid tangerine
an ode to orange
vivid tangerine
don't look directly at me
nobody can know
the truth of my marigold heat
but if you ask you can see
the persimmon ideas pour
from behind solar eyes
twisted into a terracotta utopia
melting into peach serenity
my heavy ochre heart
like the coral reef, so delicate
a fragile primordial cider
viscous, amber, and organic
foreign perspectives, so melichrous
a tawny reach showing
the experience of rusty miracles
under citrus glows
illuminated by vermillion particles
millions of ways to be orange
always the cautionary flare of embers
some worship the flaming hue
some fear its aurantious allure
but it is known by all things
this lemon epiphany
