Amazon Departure 12/18/2007

Mosquitos on the river
golden film in shallows
proper tension
landing zone

My canoe
slithers through murky water
like an anacanda...
slithers through the.....
murky....
water....

damn I hate that when I do that
great metaphor
good one

My canoe
slithers like an anaconda
through the murky waters
paddle strokes
pierce the surface pari passu
mind and gaze straight ahead

the drips off the paddles
and the splitting of the liquid
are the only sounds I can hear
above the approaching mosquitos
and the vanishing past.


pari passu \PAIR-ee-PASS-oo; PAIR-ih-PASS-oo\, adverb:
At an equal pace or rate.
