Manaus, 4/21/12
Portuguese sounds smooshy
even "x" says
shh
Manaus, 5/10/12
the
rainstorm never hit
my new shirt is already stained
sewing
requires patience
Manaus, 5/23/12
firecrackers wake me
boys in white uniforms wander in
the garden
from an eve falls a curtain of
rain
Manaus, 5/28/12
death comes
to a
mosquito
Manaus, 6/3/12
bathed and primped
a fifteen-year old girl
emerges from the slum
Manaus, 6/3/12
on Sundays few people are about
shipyard dogs gather in the shade
of an unfinished ferry
Manaus, 6/3/12
fish bone in the street
jangalanga music
the women wear sparkly jeans!
Manaus, 6/3/12
puppy nosing in the garbage
in my dreams I sneak down dark
passageways
Manaus, 6/8/12
clickclickclickclickclick
a new noisemaker toy
sweeps the neighborhood
Manaus, 6/12/12
sweat glistens on Ginny’s temple
a radio left on all night
on my birthday I eat mangos
Rio Madeira, 7/3/12
Ginny
scrubs the oatmeal pot
brushes
and floss scattered on the cockpit floor
swerving
parrots catch the sun, glint green
Rio Madeira, 7/3/12
the motor
clanks
a new vulture
spreads its wings
in my
dreams my belongings are scattered all over
Rio Guapore, 7/21/12
the sun fires
a spider´s thread
from our mast streaming
Rio Guapore, 7/26/12
where all is strange
(our American flag flaps faded on the foremast)
one´s outlook remains fresh
Rio Guapore, 8/14/12
where all
is strange
(a bird
that folds its wings like a butterfly)
one´s
viewpoint remains fresh
Rio Guapore, 8/14/12
a barge
loaded with yellow bricks
had sunk
in the shallows
on the
Pimenteiros waterfront
Rio Paraguay, 8/16/12
Thurston
catches the southern trades
mongst
the pointy hills of
Paraguay
Rio Paraguay, 8/25/12
bills with
five zeros
a soldier
with a French Foreign Legion cap
new
country!
Rio Paraguay, 8/25/12
whir (with
each oar stroke the)
whir
(little white wheels of my)
whir
(sliding seat make this sound)
Rio Paraguay, 8/25/12
burning
fields
a nap
while The Other steers
the water
is cold now
Corrientes, Argentina, 9/17/12
balding
men shave their heads
women kiss
each other's cheeks
the yacht
club has two cats
Corrientes, Argentina, 9/17/12
cats are
much alike everywhere
but some
have better fur
than
others
