Oranges

We begin with oranges, cold and plump.
No direction, no philosophy, only this road
winding into shadows, the gentle padding
of bare feet, songs of winter, and these oranges,
full of sweet and pulp, dimpled like our hearts,
those old pumps. And as the sun resigns
to the crush of dusk, we begin to peel.
Behind us: footprints, rinds.
