Memory
A peaceful Bhutan winter landscape, after war, reveals memory's fragile, vibrant essence eternally trapped, deep
June 15, 2022
Icicles hang like fingers and knives
from the coniferous trees, as if,
winter has rained
weapons and cut off hands all night
on mountains,
valleys and on the road to the monastery
atop a hill in northern Bhutan
where I am going. It seems to be an end
of a war, somewhere, at last
It is calm and peaceful everywhere
I search out
a block of ice which traps a green fern inside
like a memory
It reminds me of a Kim Ki Duk film
and much more about life
