In The Provinces
written by: PR Hebert
The smell of the earth
The jungle floor
Humid, sweet and sour
The canopy shuts off the light
Sunlight rarely touches the ground
Creepie crawlies thrive
Crawl and slither
Vegetation so green
And the air so heavy
Suffocating
Amid it all
8 and 10 year olds
Run footpaths and trails
At home monkeys on a chain
Early afternoon
After a rice bowl
Tepid beer and rice crackers
Another rain shower
Rain on a tin roof
The VC move in, in the dark
