Mandarin Oranges

Mandarin oranges.
That's what you tasted like
the night you got my glitter on your face.
That's what you tasted like the night we met.
Mandarin oranges, like the kind I scoop out of the can.
Sweet. Not quite fresh,
processed, like these oranges
have been around the block a time or two.
Sweet.
Yeah, you're sweet.
And the taste lingers on my lips.
If I could taste it fresh,
I would share my glitter with you.
