Crossing Rapids, by R. Gerry Fabian

The science fiction sun
grins with a macaw call.
Nomad images
from a previous incarnation
splash a water music
on dark brown naked skin.
Ancient beads
hang from the lobes
of leopard skin women.

Wild tree tattoos
document more than sexual eyes.
A down river medicinal magic
is carefully carried
by a dream wanderer
through the upper branches
of all night blooming trees.
Ritual chants blend
into the patchwork
and the steaming dusk
approaches with caution.
