FOR
POW #8
TWILIGHT IN SUMMERDad -
Stan Ski - asked me what music I like
(apart from หมอลำ (Morlam) – he said)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5veod_morlam-lam-lao-suite_musicI told him, and he asked me why
So I told him about last night,
And he turned my story into this:
IT AIN’T HALF HOT MUM
In thirty six point four degrees of sweat
We sit out on the porch to watch the sky
It’s evening time in Isan – not dark yet
The flying ants, mosquitoes – things that fly
Are losing wings, or biting legs and arms
Please pass that cream mum – if you don’t I’ll die
Some neighbours coming home late from their farms
Been planting rice – backs aching to the bone
But me – I’m lost in music… music calms
An MP3 tune on Dad’s mobile phone
A favourite of mine – I like the sound
Stone Roses singing ‘like an elephant stone’
I listen as I watch the sunset glow
The longest day is over now, I know
