The state
Eight places, three regions, and a coast the length of all of it.
Coast
Where the sea has been arriving for six hundred years.
Three crescents of sand and a lighthouse that still works.
A cliff, a spring, and the sea directly below.
Backwaters
Eight hundred miles of water, and no hurry at all.
A bird sanctuary, a lake, and the oldest treatment rooms in the state.
High Range
Tea to the horizon, and air that costs nothing.
A lake made by a dam, and a forest that ignores it.
Hill Country
Cardamom, silence, and the occasional elephant.
