Fiery Tangerine

You're like a tangerine in fire,
As I witness you burn yourself
To drown and drown-
Behind the naked twigs and branches
Promising spring to come

Drown-
Drown into the frozen canal of white and blue
Where happy skaters once skate on
With teeth-grinning smiles and hearts so free
But numbed by the cold

So numb-
And you, burning tangerine,
Sink my deepest sorrow and anxiety with you.
For one as beautiful as you,
My burning tangerine
Lighting the sky to bloom
Of purple and blue,
You bring me fiery hopes of another day so new.


Dedicated to Leanna who requested I wrote about sunset.
