Photograph taken at sundown in Vang Vieng, Laos.
sunlight washes out
 the distant mountains; 
  they look like
 an old Chinese painting --
 ink faded with age.

Photograph taken at Don Mueang Temple in the north Bangkok suburbs, features waterlilies in the fore and guardian statues in the background. 
The dragonfly strafing lilies 
 doesn't know how very silly
 a bantam taller than a ram
 seems to a ram tall as a filly.

An ornate door seen in Armenia. It's wood surface carved into winding patterns that form a cross and snake-like patterns. 
What lives behind that ornate door
   that's carved of snakes and vines?
 I see them writhe and feel a shift
   in its symbols and signs.
