Topography

I am lush, ripe

exotic fruit

ready to be plucked and consumed.

I am of the tropics, the rain forest -

rare birds

and unexamined, unexplored treasures that heal, mystify, confound

even the most ardent, even the most schooled, seeker.

I am hills and valleys and curves

I am sanctuary and thrill at once

I am darkness in the sunlight,

I am rain and I am thirst
