Orange Evenings

The fire burning in the tiny angiti,
Tiny hands stretching out to the warmth,
Sitting hunched on end
Like children around a tale-granny
Warming oranges, glowing oranges in the fire.

The warm sweet juice bursting forth
In one's mouth, the seed cast aside
And the home was such a warm, sweet place
And warm, sweet was the cold
And the heat.
