Clementine

They were not on my grocery list
These sweet beauties in a box
Spain in cardboard and wood
Stacked perfectly, stacked sweetly
.........................Clementine

Spain sits square on my table
Centered, adjusted, stand back
Look how wonderful they are
Neatness conflicts with sweetness
.........................Clementine

Delicate peel begs for thumbing
Invites my nail to dig a crescent
To strip orange and white in one
Hide
.........................Clementine
