so long



It had been so long that we'd imagined these chasms, in places where only ditches exist. Skirts hitched we leaped across them. Retrieving childhood games in service of salvation.

Under a big cloud sky we are reminded of that old place where the breeze blows 200 million stories into a small tropical town. We reflect on landscape and it's impact on culture; the imprints it leaves on our lives. This country is small indentations that are at once transient and irreversable. It is a paradox that exists in isolation, that is passed over in the glossy icons of metropolitan dreaming. Sprawled beneath the caterpillar head we invest in our transformation.

I wanted to tell her that she saves me, everytime our footpaths overlap
but sand is not sentimental, and my words, like everything, get blown away.
