Orange
You want to know what orange is?
It’s October before everything gets brown.
It’s when an orange in your hand is like holding the sun
But it feels cool as the breeze is cool.
Orange is a full moon that’s pumpkin pie
On a faded lilac tablecloth.
Sometimes there are two full moons,
Fat and round like those Os in October
And when that happens,
That moon is blue.
A New Mexican Poet
