Tangerines Valentine

After the earthquake

I started arranging tangerines

and two apples in

a painted bowl

as if for some painting

I started to think of

planet earth

as a suicide bomber

explosives strapped

to her chest here

and there a catastrophe

leaking through

I started to think

if we could all

think of ourselves

actually

in that position

lying athwart

one another

in a broken bowl.
