Amazon

The water is a gray, muddy brown
The purr of an engine cutting through the clatter
the jungle is laced with danger, jumping with fear
Birds yell warnings in loud screeching voices
To the girl with the fragile furry hand clenched on her shoulder
Fuzzy face long tail, rescued long ago, comfort me,
Wide eyed drifting in the mint green boat
Come to see the rarity and embrace the mystic wonders
tall trees and bright flowers exotically dark in the murk sunshine
noises catch a whisper in her ear, with biting tone, "you don't belong"
Peach fair, blond braids, resolute eyes,
just don't cut it, vines grow to thick
Carmel skinned men, dark eyed and waiting
come to rip the pearls from her trough
and claim her to the jungle
