Our place in nature
distinguishing primates
describing types
in between environments

while clinging and leaping
swinging arm over arm through trees
among endangered species

congregating for safety
over home ranges
variable in shape
and coloration

often kinship based as indicated
by the fossilization of faces
from molecular dating
post climate change
via dietary adaptations

nurturing
steamy re-
imaginings
as steeped
shades of green

fingering teas
buds new leaves
select pluckings
deftly and steadily
stirring at the center...
