thatch-roofed hut
with stick walls
crickets were singing
village posada
agua
hibiscus tea
Yucatan, Mexico
ragged mangrove swamp
salt encrusting dead stumps
black coral
fishing for octopus
a child sitting on blue steps
blue-black silt
seagrass
pelican rookery awash in crude
oil rig spill
in the south
stained tortoise eggs
