'First Breath After Coma'


And then, at once,
She pulled out one quartet of the orange,
had her fingers work their way around the fragile
white threads to tug out the rind in
one peeling spiral and
tick off the slipping pips so 



She could
cup her citrus hands
over his shineless eyes and whisper

"The earth is not a cold dead place
 The earth is not a cold dead place.."
