Flower Moon

Dancing in
A net of light

Singing red ink
I am learning how to walk
Zen meditation

Khmer woman in wheelchair
Dances her smile
Extends worn plastic basket
Grateful for .50
ageless face
Her smile a fragrance

Beauty remembers gratitude

Facial treatment waxes poetic
Edges of bi-lingual tongues speak calligraphy

Older now a Khmer woman
Still carries a bathroom weight scale
Around Siem Reap

Hoping someone will

Step on it

Exchanging weight data for Real notes

Strangers destined to die
Confront their deepest fears
At the intersection of Courage & Creativity
