Floating markets
---------
We wedge our narrow craft
Into crevices
between floating rainbows
Sundrenched lemons
Booming bananas
Sunset mangoes
We haul home
Treasures that turn
sickly sweet
Blushing jambus
Defiant rambutans
Haughty mangosteens
in the heat
untouched
As we wait
Guavas ridged with envy
Defensive durians
Pungent pregnant jackfruit
For the right
Time
To eat them
