Orange

Orange is loud.
It clangs and bangs and is
Full of jagged edges.
Orange is unexpected:
It shocks and warns.
An impressive sound that
Burns on the edges,
Full of heat and warmth
That can easily overwhelm
Is what orange is.
Yet if orange has a smell,
It is sharp and citrus –
A jolt to the imagination,
Something that
Awakens
With a slice of sharpness,
A sliver
Of the unusual.
The uninvited color
Is what orange is.
