Ecuador Bananas
In Ecuador the delicious ripe bananas are not one color
There are yellow, green and red ones according to brother.
Which ones are the tastiest? Asked my nosy stepmother.
Whichever one you are eating this minute, answered my brother.

Polylepis
To be a polylepis tree you gotta know
You're a polylepis tree & this knowing
Cements by being a polylepis tree,
Knowing between diagrammatic cracks
Fork'd already info knowing during descent.
Mud run through alpine meadow. Rubberized
Crunch on ruddy paths, rucksacks looped,
Deltoids, silly sound serious bulge spine

Spring Moon Over Ecuador
When midnight comes to be
and stars aglow will beckon,
the pulse within me
shan't resist the pull to reckon
that voice that's deep within my ear,

How divine the moon again tonight,
graceful and serene, a goddess,
shrewd yet subtle with her might,
she's a most relentless temptress.

The hunches of folk maidens found in books
Adventures in paradise; listening to brooks
Healing the soul from whence it came
Releasing the bondages from deadly games
The essence of breath found in the jungle untamed.
The healers explored vast botany ignored
Within the person

Ecuador
I met a girl in Guayaquil it was night
We swam in the Pacific, the strand
Was white and had upturned boats
I wanted to give her something, but
Had nothing of importance, gave her
A bottle of after shave lotion
She gave me her address which I lost
And since the ship never came back
She became
