Angkor Wat - 1

Blind white mossed grey carved
blocks of stone noses smiling
thin lips
green mossy fronds of giant
trees, the white drift smoke
sky
The millions of familiar
raindrops dripping in
floor rock crevasses
on the broken crown of the
grey lotus
The stone benches on the roof
Snake balustrades
Buddha's faces on the
many towers, the forest snakes
waiting in the tall trunks of
wooden trees.

~Alan Ginsberg, Angkor Wat
