Vacana of Between XVII

good quality

elements

seem harder to come

by in our

consumer

society

Rimu dug out of a swamp, now Tokotoko

now walking/talking

stick

i would have referred to it as a cane in paler days

dug out

of a swamp

carved into your

hands

The Russian Nomad went to Peru

wearing only a backpack

and a handfull of dictionary words

to explore ancient ruins

and see between the words

instead of a ruin, where the blank was uncharted

outdated

a small village greeted him

following the trails of a river

the coded words are still hiding

bloodied after climbing

the smooth rock of ravines

the night was warm

chewing cocoa leaves

and sucking sugar canes

with the locals
