The thoughts of Kyoto go out to the people of Kathmandu at this time of tragedy in a poem connecting the two cities by A.J. Dickinson…
here then gone
here
gliding low
over wild duck river
a grey imperial crane
lands stands looks
takes wing again
there
tears devastation
destruction suffering
kathmandu
boudanath stupas
broken in a great quake
so many dear friends
momentarily sparkling
such flowing waters below
gone
in wind in sun
in rain in pain in dust
leaving
the great crane
alight over us
