I am getting lost
in your understory
this beautiful drag
of an orangutan dream

I’m hanging around your
heights between the canopy
and losing sight
of the forest floor

a little deeper
I’m going each time you
ask me a question
with your verdant eyes

at this rainforest counter
I’m choosing
all things on the menu
with one simple side

orange, in quarters
juicy and ripe
for picking
amongst these
trees we’re now climbing

gently guiding me with your arms
to another
piece of
deliciously
citrusy
stolen time
if you don’t mind

how I am relishing
your relish

combined and entwined
like the trees
along their spines
murmuring mouths
droning basses
are tangling at the wind

I’m tasting this orange
light
smooth with a little bite
at the
corners of my tongue
and you know

I think the dust is
listening and deciding to
stay outside of this forest
so that we can remain suspended

in this enchanted time

    i have little bits of orange pip stuck to my lips and the insides of my heart.
    this is every inch beautiful sticky sweetness with the perfect amount of tang and tart.
    gods nat, it is such joy to encounter your words… and having the little view backstage that i do, this absolutely makes me feel stomping-in-puddles kind of joy xxx

  • natapee replied

    that way you devour my tangy words with such delight makes me so utterly happy Holly. I share your stomping-in-puddles kind of joy. I’m there with you in rainy England and together we’re singing in the rain. xx
