Christmas is here

I rip open the plastic of my first candy cane since last December.
The mood lightens as a burst of minty sweetness enters
my mouth.
I work my way down the perfect red stripes:
on smooth white.
When I get to a point:
CRACK
I bite it off.
I stay in my aroma of sweetness,
until there is nothing left.
Now I am ready for Christmas;
thanks to the traditional candy cane.
