Tangerine Delight
I place my hand on the refrigerator door handle,
and jerk it open to release the frigid air captured inside.
I reach for the delicious treat that lies in the very back.
My fingers tingle as I embrace the chilly tangerine.
One of my hands carefully grasps the tangerine;
the other peels away the skin that contains the delicacy.
Juice spurts out as I uncover the luxurious gold that lies inside.
I reach for the plumpest slice
and detach it from the support of its fellow shell mates.
I close my eyes and place the luxury in my mouth.
As I close my lips, melodious juices explode everywhere.
My mouth dances to the harmonious taste of the fluid.
I chew the soft remains of the slice and reach for another.
Soon, when I reach for more there is nothing left.
Only the sweet memory of tangerine bliss remains.
