Chattering, crying, complaining, consoling...
A death stiffened corpse sitting upright with covered visage
Decaying, disrupting, deceiving, discouraging...
Buses rerouted, students sneak out, hours in the viewing line pass like
glaciers on an icy sea.
Delight for buzzards, disaster for pilgrims: a burial
Finishing, frustrating, forgetting, foreboding...
Chalked streets fade and mournful crowds disperse
Ruining, remaining, relaxing, returning...
The Lama died... evidence? a little red dog trots down a little red street.
