Dedication
May 5, 2008Phnom Penh is sinking
One day, I was told,
The wetlands will come back
And fill the land we stole
With brackish water
That throbs with life.
Having been built over
Sand and clay that shift with
The earth’s menstrual cycle,
This city will sink back
Into the ancient lake.
Maybe, only then
Will this city finally get rid of
The grime and bloodstains
That have tainted it
For thirty years or so.
Perhaps, in the end,
Like having precious ablutions,
Life under so much water
Does not necessarily
Amount to drowning.
for Lou & Joy
phnom penh, 2004
