i dreamt the mariana trench


in the western pacific
would be deep enough
to accept the tears of the planet

but of course the tears never end

and everything changes

even the shadows on the moon


from the top of si surat stupa
the ocean gleams with pride
sending off each wave
like a kiss

but of course the kiss ends

everything changes

even the shadows from the sun


on songkhla beach the sand rushes off
in a steep undertow
taking the breath
right out of you

like tears
