Open Spaces

Sad Mandarin

sits tilted
with upturned lips
its wrinkled skin 
- arched as wings 
of a churning windmill 
with concealed eyes
it looks below
melancholily
and kisses
the goodbye kiss
at the hem 
of the blued curtain
Another side
the belly button 
young 
well cratered 
with the freckled 
orange rind 
ready's to be squeezed
by her hands
opening gates 
of nectar-ed rush
