A Poem by Rita Dove
After all, there’s no need
to say anything

at first. An orange, peeled
and quartered, flares

like a tulip on a Wedgewood plate
Anything can happen.

Outside the sun
has rolled up her rugs

and night strewn salt
across the sky. My heart

is humming a tune
I haven’t heard in years!

Quiet’s cool flesh—
let’s sniff and eat it.

There are ways
to make of the moment

a topiary
so the pleasure’s in

walking through.
