Orange

Palustral, sacral,
Shrunk and sickens,
Colours me in in places.

Sculpts consciousness
Signalling nothing
But orange.

Tragedy can be avoided.
Love is orange.
No romance in it.

Not easy being small at all.
Orange can really tell
Seven times now

Or more.
Orange is the new black.
It won't go back.

It is new. Fits like a suit.
A first full
Of tonic.

It is this or it is agent Orange.
The veterans story,
An abeyance.

Rather honesty
Is an orange friend.
Orange is me again.

* Some years earlier. Poetry at the library we were asked to write about orange. This is what I came up with.

Like coffee

I want you like coffee,
Hot but smooth.

The taste not diluted with milk

Or sugar....

I used to wait around to be in love with you.
