Farewell Forever


Painting by Jan Middleton Roset


FAREWELL FOREVER

The last embrace:

An orange and a worried coffee maker,

A long freight train with empty box cars,

An orange and the ambush of a barroom,

A snowflake in the shape of spilled gin.

An orange and silent thunderbolts

A gold ring buttons its white collar,

An orange and a Veronese with empty rooms.
