So far away, So Asian, So Buddhist

 

The Wake of the Ladies in Sigiriya

I just published The Wake of the Ladies in Sigiriya This is far away, so get to it in poetry. The ladies are there on the wall and the palace on top and the city around and the garden in front. The water starts running again, but a lot will have to be rebuilt and reinforced and reinvented for it to become a center of Sri Lankan culture and history. The elephants are missing, though since local elephants are nocturnal animals, it is not easy to bring them here in the daytime. In the wild, they are resting, and, please, do not disturb them ever.
