4 - Ayutthaya




The following should not be trusted:
Rivers, persons holding weapons,
Those with claws and horns,
Women and royal families.
The Hitopadesha


Victory Chedi of Naresuan the Great


That fish they caught
the Mekong catfish
was half the height
of this thing

A cat inclines one ear



The Squirrel


Put flowers in your hair
the spirit-house
has Pikachou in plastic
wrappersyellow billows
round Buddha’s behind
