Aranciata rossa and orange sanguine it says
On the can the girl purchases at the counter.
Blood orange is what the cashier calls it.
Outside the window, the lake is steely
And a steady rain staccatos the cafe roof.
The girl draws a picture of a sunny day
While she sips her soft drink at a two-top.
What would the lake light look like without
The words curled around that aluminum can?
What would the red and orange words
Look like without the shining lake beyond?
