Here’s a poem from last year’s trip to the beach. A large inspiration being a UK article citing how parts of the Kentucky River mirror the Bahamas of present-day (with limestone formations dating back 450 million years to the Ordovician Period):
If Kentucky wasn’t landlocked…
it’d be located somewhereabouts
Nassau
betwixt the Bahamas and the blue Caribbean
Limestone sediment and
formations similar to millions of years ago
Geologists see it
and caves in both
distant cousins
The earth as one piece
and then as many
Jostled about much like
family
