Cane cuts across a braid of bamboo, <br />Blades unsheathe match no machete <br />Threads of sweet sap strip naked, <br />Tantalize taste buds in rainbow colours <br />Crush delight - <br />Mills, mold distant lands in treacle <br />Marbles pitch, crystal on a table <br />Melt with a swirl in China like a <br />Doting lover stuck in a world of dreams <br />Hoping his bed will press a special juice.<br /><br />Robert Dummett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sugar-cane-3/
