HeliotropeMy father’s hands work quickly
Bisecting orange rind, and twice again
His nails dig into the cuts and peel
The segmented orange falls apart
Little half-moons of Florida sun
Every night his heliotropic routine went on
A silver boat through orange waves
His vorpal pocket knife was lethal
And every night the orange fell apart
Like little half-moons of Florida sun
Bisecting orange rind, and twice again
His nails dig into the cuts and peel
The segmented orange falls apart
Little half-moons of Florida sun
Every night his heliotropic routine went on
A silver boat through orange waves
His vorpal pocket knife was lethal
And every night the orange fell apart
Like little half-moons of Florida sun

Orange peeling?
I inspire you, don't I?
Nice piece, the pansies are practically growing right out of it. *chuckles*
Hi,
if you use copyright protected images on your website then you should be at least honest enough to give the photographer real credit. This image is copyright protected by Rolf Hicker: Taken from

I like it... I'm not quite sure what it is that makes me like it so much. I think it's that it's so very domestic in an odd way. Or maybe it's just that I like little rituals.
