raw oranges for your hunger

tangerines, clementines, oranges; oranges.

hunger bleeds into me so I peel it open

stab the skin with my silver fork

citrus squirts, my fingers hurt

the wound on my thumb has revealed itself 

I peel off every white thread before giving you a piece of it, a piece of me

put my heart and soul into making it taste good, removing all variables

I peel the transparent skin too

is this the orange in its rawest form? 

how much can I take away before it isn’t an orange anymore?

it doesn’t matter because I want you to have the best

so take the pulp and the orange blood, I’ll give you the best of the best of me
