Slaves of Citrus

nature, Personal Reflection 1 Minute 
You caught me 
stealing at dusk
limes from our neighbour’s tree;
they were yellow and cold.

but you with your lilac smile
you dangled, fishing-line easy
pilfering light
from a company of unrisen stars.

I ducked inside
cheeks pink as the froth of clouds
but you smarmied on, 
shameless as Fagan

It's little consolation
knowing we’re both the same
moon tang and mint 
slaves of citrus, thieves in the night

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
