hotel
how the wind tastes
on the balcony of every Comfort Inn - five
times have I sighed tonight into my cup of
evening literature,
longing for more

reeking of
incense-holders and ash,
violet flowers bob like
empty fishes in the ganges seven days a week -
residual life

Death? Can you make it sound lighter than it is?

every evening I think my grandfather just
a long distance phone call away
there is no acceptance from afar - you need to
have felt the cold in your fingertips
That brings back memories….
