a mystical land
a fictional place
opens up through your plane window
mountains yawns
trees slide down
making way
for your bird to land
clouds play
havoc
over mountain top
flat land
the mechanical bird
is warm, silent
crowded markets
colored streets
hawkers yell
dollars deteriorate
the sun
has a special place
to the left,
unfamiliar
from your own land
the roads are tiny
zipping through
breasts of mountains
goats stand tall
eating grass
the wind shaking
their food
its hunger time
you quiver
with the nostalgia
of thirst
flags flutter
calling for the dead
to return
there are chants
mantras
in monotone
the mountain reverberating
in its own echo
till you reach to pay for
toll
you are
2000 ft above
the valleys
the sunlit paths
the birds flying below
the muffled air
the disguised laugh
echo of your own heart
"home"
"om"
"om"
