Kathmandu Moon I&II/Mirth

Kathmandu Moon I

The waning moon beckons
The dog howling
The people toiling
The night grows
Inside my heart.

Kathmandu Moon II

It is here tonight
Or perhaps I am here
Tonight

The end of another cycle
The moon waxing full
Of secrets, and ready
To deliver them

I shudder and sigh tonight
I am here
Regaining consciousness
Ready to deliver
My well-kept mysteries

Mirth

There are small mirths:

The first birdsong
The magic of wine
The making of love
The fragrance of earth
The golden skin of summer
