So far away, So Asian, So Buddhist

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.
