koh samui, thailand, 1989
under the strain
of being overrun
by the farang
the fishing families
and banana farmers
that still carry on
eke out subsistence living
look to the sun and moon
to their hands and tools
to the weather and a slipping landscape
survival something of a gamble
powerlessness a fait accompli
where only soil and sea have reverence
