Waxing Poetic

Rains presented last evening to linger through current mid-day.

Birds remain universally undisturbed. Pelicans attack the water's surface following any hint of fish presence below. Vultures, in pairs, occupy palm branches and perform exhaustive preening, which drier conditions preclude. Only the Great Frigate Birds are absent.

Rio Tuito re-deploys sand from banks constantly redefined. Current courses bank-to-bank ferrying fallen coconuts like countless bobbing heads; then melds with the bay in a final fit of turbulence. Coffee colored fluid flushes forward to re-image an otherwise emerald body.

Cobblestones embedded in village pathways revert to earlier grandeur as river rock.

Clouds attack and withdraw on Frostian cat paws across ridgelines near and far.

A lone luxury yacht resides beyond my window. The occupants stare landward as local eyes stare seaward in return.

Stress imposed by a morning commute; appointments requiring re-schedule, errands unable to complete; all of these issues for most Yelapans are non-events. If you need to venture outside, one simply expands the uniform: (T-shirt; board shorts, baseball cap) to include a large, customized garbage bag.

It's a great day to be a Yelapan---indoors.
