Sugarcane

Mone D. Moore

  Raw and unrefined Dark and sumptuous fruit. He is the Floridian Summer, Balmy and unforgiving in his touch. He: the scorching pavement; And I: a drop of rain, fizzling and sizzling into steam that condenses on our bodies. All moist earth and thunderstorms I catch him on my tongue and savor his taste, Organic motherland and thrumming heartbeats.
