Today, let us travel south of Zumba (Ecuador), through the jungle mountains, to the Peruvian border. The physical journey is done in a ranchero – an old-style bus with a truck cab and wooden passenger section in back, with hard benches.
Safe Journeys!
by Lorraine Caputo18 Oct 2014
On this rough-hewn road
through jungle mountains, my breath
is snatched away by
the ivory, by the lilac
orchids swaying in the rain.
My thoughts drift to my
father—these, his favorite
flowers—& I wish
to gather them into a
bouquet to gift his Spirit.
