kissing her face
under waterfalls
tropical feeling

orchid blooms
so purple
along dusty roads

tropical fruits
exotic and new
we eat them all

bitching about
summer sweat
what else in tropics?

my toes curl
to reveal
sand from beach

from distance
feeling warmth
of burning candle

leaves whittled
in tropical shade
my hammock swinging

another trip
sense of satisfaction
and deep sadness

roosters compete
across orosi valley
my sleepy attention
