our day out
by the side of a river
a warm sunny day
and breeze is a delight
spirits of the dead
reside out here
we’ll say hello
should we meet one
sit down on soft green grass
watch the water flow
stench of the river
ain’t that bad though
watch the swallows hover
low on the river
and how they swing
playing in the air
a wonderful setting
amidst crazy Kathmandu
a warm sunny day
and breeze is a delight
an eagle nearby
stands on a tiny island of debris
gently glides after a while
and rises back in the air
a tiny creature
swimming in the river
with its head out – sight of a snake
and the eagle has missed it – exclaims my friend
down the river
the snake swims
we’re getting late my friend
let’s follow the snake
‘til it
meets another debris island
where relaxed birds
alarmed, fly back in air
out of sight
the snake and the swallows
a warm sunny day
and breeze is a delight
