now there is gold
bordering, edges
curving up like
calligraphy

 river transport
long tails
a city dressed
in plants in greens
blues lady
boys

khao san cattle
follow me through
upstairs down
back door i know
a place this alley that
pad thai

high, fourth
floor new merry
house and karaoke
underneath
on the balcony
watching the taxis
the lights on that
christmas tree, there
across the street
