sugarcane

Folder: 
dark

pour the rain into a cup. throw away.

sugarcane doubled up. twisted frame.

cut the pain out of love. fixing brain.

temper change, spill my guts. wash my face.

 

i'm afraid of who i am.

brevity and power

your poem has brevity and power

 

whenever i hear the word 'sugarcane' i think of

the common practice around the world of burning

the sugarcane fields  many mammals, birds, reptiles

and bugs burned alive
