Nam Poem by Bryan Thao Worra

Nam



Beneath, there's life.
Above, there's life.

The fierce sun tucks himself away
After a long day standing
Like a snaggle-toothed Yak
Over lush plains of green and stone,

Valleys and smoking mountains
Thick with the scent of ash
And hot rice,

Our alluring cities filled
With humble jewels

The hue of families in love
And guests being welcomed

By a gentle nop.
