rain
forest morning mist
before
the sun beats through
has
a sweet taste to it
what
looks like a calm ocean
is
deceiving
a
dip before going to work
is
a wake up
the
equator rolls up the waves
and
sends them falling
with
a strong undertow
a
rip tide is a force of nature
you
can't negotiate with
look
for a parallel escape
when
you get a day off
bicycle at dawn
down
the long hill into phunphin
the
train stops there
and
there are connections
that
will take you all the way south to malaysia
or
north to the indigenous hills
if
you wait until dusk
the
mist might come back
the
rain still warm
is
probably just past your reach
