olive trees lined desolate
hills along the shoreline
wrinkly branches hailing from land
as they sat still in the distance
heat pounding down upon them while
sweat trickled down my spine in soft currents
swish of water floating softly beneath me
leaving the trail of my travels
moving slowly onward to new ports
taste of these lands still fresh upon my tongue
