Around
by Victoria Crawford
Clouds encircle our mountain, Doi Suthep,
where sunset streamers glow the sky
like spokes around
the mountain axle of our valley world
or Ganesh orbiting his mother
on mouse-back
or my head, fly surrounded
as I sit in the garden—
flickering shape clouds
misting the height
