drifting in a canoe
between the rains in the soaking heat, through the hollows and gorges of this primitive river, aromatic potentates of the forest proffer the perfume blessings of their green loins. The olfactory intoxicant rises in chorus with the heavy wet air, wet dirt, wet rock and wet bark in the abiding earthiness of this green water river. This blessing relieves the weight of the greasy, slippery brine pouring off my flesh with each silent stroke of the paddle. The canoe glides me along the river like some watery ghost.
