Meditation on Orange [Dedication to ...]

It's funny the thoughts that peeling a mango with your teeth bring to you;
(We all know that a Mango is the most intimate fruit there is, you have to get into it, all sticky and messy to fully enjoy it)
There's protective skin,
Fleshy and juicy insides, and a solid core.

- Not sure if we're talking about mangoes or humans now*

But orange was the light that burnt in your eyes, when you realized that you were in love.
Was it a sunny day? I can't recall
So much like molten gold the feeling was, not yet fully formed
-But we all knew it was there.

Orange ... You're allergic, aren't you?
Always had a reminder to get you your Vitamin C from other sources ...
Sad though ... Cause I myself am addicted to OJ ... Not Simpson, of course.

Orange - the colour of 'that' lady, she not changing course, you know?
But we had to ...
Orange the cousin of red, for stop signs, or danger.
Was it dry like the desert the first time you knew it had to end?
Or did the rays cause water to pool ... And tears to fall?

Orange rind ... I remember discussing the use of it with you one day ...
We still don't know.
Orange was our dawn ... Orange now the sunset.
Let's drink once more from the cup... You know, for old times' sake?
