GROWTH


the background, the setting, the context
grows on you
for the good of it, of you, of everything
including the words

bananas, mangos, passion fruits
the soil is red, black, yellow
now more than ever I wish I were a bird
a buzzard

I only have a few minutes
to say that I am leaving today
for a little town, Nyanzale
I should be back in a few days.

    Lucky Nyanzale. :)

    I hope your trip is going well. The photo looks like it is taken of a miniature setting, like someone would have a train set or doll house.
