Fried Tarantula Please
I will have fried tarantula if you please.
Extra flour and lots of seasoned grease.
You don’t have any?
That’s okay, Minnie.
Cambodia has dishes like these....

Christmas In the Plain of Reeds
CHRISTMAS IN THE PLAIN OF REEDS
Three on isolated holiday;
Cambodia on the horizon.
The reeds sway in the wind,
rippling like drifting snow,
their touch a ringing bell.
So close to the Border,
so far from Christmas,
so far from home.

Temples of Angkor Wat
sari of morn floats
draping temples with orchids,
as Angkor Wat blows its mist
to flame coned incense;
and in the still of homage
pilgrims wander with their gods.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Repetition of Moves
Genocide
Happens more often than
we would like to think
The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust
to mention a few
Why can't we get along?
I realize that even as I write
these words
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"...

Prison camp S-21
Angkar kills but does not explain
your blood bleeds into my veins
so I can feel your pains
whatever god you pray to
beg for deliverance.
in the good old USA we are
unaware of unseen suffering.
Usually but not always.
we met at a wedding and
you shared your story
in broken English until
I understood that you
had been in the killing fields....

Little Miss Muffet
When Little Miss Muffet
first visited buffets,
she’d choose simple entrees,
cottage cheese
Until one day in line
a grand gourmand spied her.
He advised some cider
and egg foo young.
Now I'm the frightened one;
ev'ry night of the week
new gourmet food they seek.
They're off the grid.
Heard they ran away to
far-off Cambodia
where fried tarantula
are tasty treats.

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat
infamous temple complex in Cambodia
largest religious structure known on earth
spreads two hundred and forty-eight square miles
there are seventy-two temples inside this complex
This Hindu temple was dedicated to their god Vishu
designed to represent Mt Meru, home of the devas in mythology
King Jayavarman VII changed the temple to Buddism
after Vishu had failed him
Some believe Angkor Wat was constructed in one night
by our divine architect...
