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.
At first light, the small town awakens.
People head to the market from every direction.
Green tamarillos sway in bamboo back baskets,
sunlight catching on their skins.
You bite into one, still cool with morning dew.
Juice bursts, flooding your mouth.
A Yunnan morning,
snapped awake by a hit of green sour.
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.
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.
