Thailand
Sweating, salty, sun
I let myself go, melt in this
exotic heat
I savor these flavors, these
strange words, these beautiful
skies
I was surprised, hardly prepared
for this
glorious, pulsating place
and I am less prepared to
leave
Aah, my jaw has just unclenched
my stomach has lost its fire
I am actually breathing
inhaling, expanding, unshriveling
pretending that this won't
end.
Rain
Rain, Rain,
you've finally come!
Wash the dust, the filth, the sadness
away
(how I wish you would, Rain).
I wish there was a washing away
of the sorrow that cloaks me
I set foot on this sandy soil
afraid I will sink down
further into this earth
this earth of unending thirst
(how I wish you'd never stop, Rain).
