Climbing the Yunnan plateau,
the air turns crisp and clean, scented with pine needles.
Step into a pine forest.
Sunlight breaks through the canopy,
scattering softly onto needles and moss.
Earthy mushrooms and damp air rise quietly around you.
You stop in the shadow,
The world falls silent.
In the sun-warmed afternoon kitchen,
sticky rice steams in the bamboo steamer.
You drop freshly sliced mango onto the rice.
Steam curls up, pandan leaves flash green.
You take a spoonful,
rice softness and mango sweetness landing like sunlight in your chest.
Everything slows down.
Summer sneaks in.
The courtyard glows gold in the last light.
You sit by the stone table, palm fan swaying slow.
Auntie brings over a bowl of fruit,
cool, fresh, just pulled from the well.
The evening breeze drifts past.
Tart bayberry, soft-sweet lychee,
lifted by fine bubbles, popping bright in the air.
It'ssummer's first sip: fresh, tipsy, and a littlespark.
Afternoon in a small Yunnan town.
A breeze slips through the alleys,
still warm with sunlight.
You follow a thread of scent
step into the café on the street corner.
A steaming latte waits,
golden osmanthus blossoms floating on the foam.
Warm, never heavy,
like afternoon sunlight, held in your hands.
