oranges

mandarin oranges wrapped in green paper
in a brown wooden bowl
on low table

I can’t indulge – too much fibre

A saxophone reverberates in a church
somewhere sometime
a little jazzy
a little eastern in style

this I hear through speakers in my living room
in a small prairie town
no cathedral here

just dirty, icy streets and
bare black trees
and a few boxy churches

the sax plays on gyrating with its own
echo echoing
oblivious to me
accompanied by voices
harmonizing heaven

just like a perfect round orange
