during those brief months
when your lusciousness
is available for purchase.
Your exotic tartness
helps banish
the lethargy of winter,
Your potent sweetness
lifts the monotony
of the oppressive chill,
Your playful peel
and vivid fruit
brighten eyes dull with gray.
O' Blood Orange
sovereign of sweet and sour
your singular bounty
is not left unrevered.
