She Visits on the Cold Wind

Out of nowhere
a thought of you
will hit my mind,
like a poison dart.
I don\'t know what
triggers it.
Tonight, I think it\'s
the cold wind blowing
outside my window.
Or, it could be the
tangerine I just ate.
That sweet juice.
It doesn\'t last
though.
Gone in a flash.
Too small for a
lifetime together.
And I\'m alone with
this bright orange pain,
vowing never to write
about you again.
