One Poem

Another reason I struggle to write

for Daniel Tammet

tak tak hye yo

is so hard

tak

refreshes me on

a hot day

in Cambodia

tak tak

keeps me grateful

in Sweden

I roll over and squeeze

my sleeping pollo, le

achi, novia, yeoja chingu's

chi chis and thinki:

they are budeureoun campanas

like big soft, smooth soothing bells

I'll write this down

and share it.

my biggest fan, a tiny

furry purring horse, who loves

to kick sand around, jumps up

rubs her head against the pen
