Harvesting Festival 
And thank giving celebration
Predominantly for farmers but all
People of Tamilnadu despite their religions, celebrate the
Year harvest festival when the sun starts its journey towards north horizon

The first day is celebrated as bogi in
Honor of Lord Indra and people burn old and unwanted things
And...

Alacrity bespeaks entangled, entombed,
     and entrapped Thai soccer team
diminishing strength barely allows,
     but a whispered scream,

which rescue against all odds
     (plucked out cavernous catacomb),
     fast becoming a fading dream
vicariously...

Thai By
This place gets under your skin. Slowly creeping in like black Texas gold. I said I'd never partake in the cat house girls. Seeing them each day for eighteen months was routine. Walking past the 'venues' to my shop. Usual hi's and hello's. 

Then...

There’s this Thai food truck, 
where everybody goes.
The food is really good, 
I believe it has a soul.
Vibrations that you feel, 
Will put your heart at ease. 
Shumai and sticky rice, 
brings you to your knees 
Loving their guests, 
With a joyful attitude.
In love with...

6 pm the sun slinking down

birds of prey hovver potential feed 

people gathered in the picnic area

a howling noise a stunning site

bats spew from the mountain top

twenty minutes and out of site

`til the dawn begins.

Their eyes follow the slow grace
of each gesture.
Hands curl, flare, and flex,
a ballet of fluent fingertips.
Long nails as red as tongues
turn in a polished eloquence.
Delicate arms hold aloft
delicate hands,
wrists arabesque,
palms turn like pages.

You hear the voice of the hands,
see the song of the hands,
your feet...

The green tea in its blue and white
porcelain tea cup is full of sunlight.

The dark eyed fortune teller’s
delicate hands
pass over the small cup -
swans skimming low
above a green pond.

 “She will love you forever”
she says,
one pearlescent nail
tracing my life in the tea leaves.

Then:
“but you will...

have heard latest scare
would tip over my wheelchair
on floor sit and stare

heat did take its toll
what we need is climate control
which shall save our soul

birds no longer tweet
were devastated by heat
much trauma will meet

soon my poem shall read
to all those who always need
their minds thoughts...

Thai seafood is very tasty
Naturally by fishers hand
Fresh so well done little salty
Thai seafood is very tasty
Cheap price and so good quality
Their seafood so good like their land 
Thai seafood is very tasty
Fast frying like using a wand.

We went out after the storm
and sat on the flat roof.

A few orchids in their pots
dripped in the moonlight.
We watched vultures
circle the floating market,
while Bangkok put on
its neon mask.

You said you would leave in the morning,
that your village was your heart,
not these apartment rooms,
this place...

The restaurant we like is far;
We wanted something closer.
To walk an extra mile or so?
My answer would be, “No, sir!”

I went to Google on my phone -
“Thai food” is what I’d enter -
But suddenly, “Thai Food Near Me”
Was listed, front and center.

The place looked good,...
