There was an orangery
filled with lemons
a little wine
and fire
The flood held out
enough for me to walk there
between stampedes of horses
fraught with love and moon
Orphaned again, bereft even
I went there
to speak with friends
before a move to a desert
now made green
feels more like the green made into a desert right now where I am
