Distant Longing

I wish I may,

I wish I might,

have this wish,

I wish tonight,

of Annapurna ,

and golden pools,

a luxury resort,

a Nepali jewel,

a mud bath,

in magic slush,

blessings from,

Buddhist monks,

walk the village,

soak it in,

absorb calm,

into the skin,

but if this wish,

be just fable,

I’ll settle for,

food on the table.
