A Tibetan man as old as time with Aviator sunglasses
The freckles on an egg like stars in the sky
Herds of livestock like ants dotting lime green hills
Roads so high one drives through the clouds
Four ducks traverse a wilderness
A lake so blue and wide one mistakes it for the sky with the dizzying
feeling of walking upside down
Bread escape into the waves like a renegade lifeboat
A woman in a long wool coat standing before a frozen carcass in the low
light of dawn
As many shades of green as the human eye can process
Three filthy siblings who do not know where they are from but only that
they are hungry
Chinese people have entire conversations with bits of bread and cakes
barely clinging to the inside of their mouths
Stones and caves that appear to be rigid versions of a child's mound of
pockmarked play dough
Villages mistaken for postcards a blink and then gone
I must have seen a thousand yaks.
