Collecting unique or beautiful or useful plants
On the sides of a dirt road
Creeping smoke from distant wildfires
Driving in pouring rain listening to heartfelt songs
Excited by crossing white-tailed deer
Moving through layers of sparkling showers
Coming home to three men with three fish
Staying up late, picking our brains
Leaving the leaves on mangroves
Lining tunnels from the backyard
To the ocean
Learning tides by a sinking island
Landed for camp but later abandoned
For open shallow waters
Foggy directions and startled laughter
Burnt, bitten, and sandy
Florida left its signature on me
