Orange in Green Skin
When Autumn nears, I like the scent of the orange's skin, Still green, on my hand after peeling, The perfume lingers.
Oh! Yellow flesh is sweet, And the skin is not in a hurry, Bitterness breaks in the nose Like a wave of perfume.
In my youth, out of duty, I returned from far away Like Autumn nearing, Crazy with first love.
My hand is eager, Across thousands of miles of missing love. For the excitement of peeling An orange in green skin.
Xuân Diệu

How lovely!
I can just smell the scent, and feel the texture of the skin as I peel it back...
Great imagery!
Thank you...
