I step off the plane
and smell jasmine rice.
Lily pads float in a pond
near the baggage claim.
Even the idling tour buses
in the airport parking lot
can't eclipse
the resonant buzz of cicadas
and the scent of crushed leaves.
A view of the ocean. A car containing sand and soggy wetsuits. A house full of books, boys, laundry and love. A poem, a picture, a rumination.
