Giving a mystical inlander,
far-reaching to fall on dormant,
grip in the wilds of Mount Arjuna.
Trembling fingers,
gently caressed,
the pile of soil wet,
as Roombutter melted.
Casuarina seedlings,
sculpt beautiful grooves,
wailing to Lord,
the pine grows fertile.
The remnants, a glory deer valley,
symphonized jungle fowl sound,
beyond tumultuous Krontjong tones,
An illegal logger Meneer relaxes.
toucans and hornbills
stifling humidity
welcome to jungle
orange orangutan
wisely avoids bees ballroom
where bees congregate
wild boar’s carcass
rotting from limb of a tree
warns us of leopard
a decorative fairy queen
clarifies jungle beauty
red jungle fowl laughs
vines shrubs and grasses
do not slow down the monkeys
i look up and smile
