into mountains
white rented Hyundai gleaming in hot sun
watching for people
at home here
on rickety bikes or walking
on edge of narrow road
marvelling at giant blossoms on lush shrubs lining road
red pink yellow
noticing mountain peaks defining the space
and tumbling down into vast valleys of green tropical forest
some homes are estates with barbed wire fences
some are clapboard shacks defying gravity
valley town bustles
brother and sister ride down the street on a bike
old wizened busker playing fiddle tunes for hours
at the market
where little boy lies in nest of blankets under a display table
waiting for journey back into mountain home
