Matt Hetherington
in front of the bureau of standards
a large pile of rubble
through the flooded field
a man pushing a bicycle
country station platform –
just a goat
and a man brushing his teeth
green grass –
the yak shit
looks like rocks
sleepiness –
a log has fallen
over the river
“Mountains on the road to Lahul”
