REFLECTIONS IN VENICE

A blood orange sun hovers
Behind buildings
Anchored in an icy sea

A boat races through cold air
Away from the ancient city
Past tall villas

Red orange flames
Engulf interiors
Raging window to window
A heart races

Thumbs part
Nostrils flare
Soft liquid flesh yields
A spritz of warm bittersweet
Blood orange
