The Orange Tragedy

Dog days

The almost perfectly 
sized orange 

starts to
develop a

pungent smell 
and soft mushy spots

on the table 

as you let 
the days flow 

and become 
weeks

hoping for it
to be more ripe

and sweeter than 
it already is

with ‘enough’
time

to a point where
the hunger stays

no longer
to consume

and 
relish

the orange
anymore

    That perfect timing where sweetness is at its max before it sours. Nicely pictured here.
