AÑEJO

The glow of amber
Autumn knows the cost of time
In the age of days

OPPOSITE END

Almost everyone
I know
Has exited
Or has been
Hustled
Out the door

And I...?
I am the stranger
At the
Opposite end

There is a switch on the dash
You can find in the dark
That will light your way home

If you are still on the bad place, consider following Pranaya Rana @inkthink. For English coverage, the Kantipur building was set on fire, but Kathmandu Post reporters are still posting via social media.
The Nepal unrest forced me back onto the bad place where the Nepali journalists are, and I'm only now realizing the extent to which journalists, average folks, and even tourists are at risk. During the People's War, I was always safe. I would not be if I were in Kathmandu right now.

INCIPIENT RAIN

This morning
I swallowed the sunrise
Washed it down
With incipient rain

PATIENCE

Greet the enemy
Each morning, it takes so much
Patience, being me

POETRY APPRECIATION

Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

LATE BEETHOVEN

What if all the sound
You ever heard existed
As a memory

EPICARICACY

Is that some kind of sour grin
Veiled by twitching fingers
That betray your glee
And not your grimace;
The pump of a fist
As I am matted?

TONE POET

I would love to hear
The tone within a poem
Through its innocence
