You open me up like one of your oranges
You rub at the pith, digging your fingers in
And oh, I declare:
What a wonderful way to be devoured
By you and your beautiful mouth
At times I fear what you might find inside of me
(The table’s laid and all I have to do is wait)
Still I crumble like soft cheese under your butter knife
(Don’t spread me thin; I’ll waste away before your eyes)
And oh, I am but
A cumulus cloud in your firmament
Afloat, adrift in blues
And all that came before
Were just movie scenes in black and white
Now I see in Technicolor
For flesh and seeds agape
I am your Open Orange
