So here we are
In Katmandu

In warm rooms with portraits
Mutely covering the walls

Dinner is eaten
Off the white plate
The wine in its crystal glass

With a certain aplomb
Having read of Iran
And monks shot down in Burma

Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Who saw so much as pointless pursuit

And yet who will wait tonight
Patiently on the balcony
For an autumn moon

For whomever emerges
From those still silent secret
Forgotten recesses of the heart

To sing to her
In its light

Sorry, John...somehow I almost missed reading
this one...most glad I just found it!

[For whatever my humble opinion is worth, of
  the authors I find 'most worth reading'
  that traverse the fine blue sands of
  'P.I.P.-land'...you often fall near the top
  of my queue or 'poetic pantheon']

VERY fine 'write'!!

serious applause!!

I could feel I was there too, in Katmandu. This, in my humble opinion, is one of your very best!

This may be my personal favourite of your poems that I have read ~ and that, is saying a mouthful!
