Ecopoesia

Jungle

Sérgio Medeiros

Tall branches fold but do not split under the weight of a female monkey that jumps non-stop from here to there among the leaves. 

 

You don’t see the female. Never.

 

You can try calling her.

 

Gently? Shouting? With voiceless gestures?

 

There might be a resort in Acre that gives this kind of experience to its guests.
