title: Autocento of the breakfast table
css: autocento
...
On your desk I set a tangerine: \
a relic of a winter quickly passing.
I'm reminded, fiercely, of a summer: \
I watched the cemetery grass on my stomach.
You hate the wind blowing through buildings: \
the coldness of fire, blister of a mountain stream.
When you broke down that night: your aunt / you \
never have been / you shook that night /
Seasonal affective disorder is real: you \
mutter under your breath on the highway.
The ant carries an orange peel past a headstone: \
it carries her nearly as often.
I set a tangerine on your desk: \
an engagement ring, winter-returned.
