Khong Chiam, Thailand
The ferry crossing.
Today the air is clear
and dry. A very bright, white, half moon
hangs in the blue, early morning sky. A
cream coloured cow licks the turn signal on a motorcycle. Taste test.
Three women squatting on their haunches on the river bank. Subdued voices. River level dropped down two and a half
metres since the end of the rains. A tan
coloured cow chews on a rusty piece of sheet metal. A bull saunters down the concrete ramp,
stands still, pisses. A dugout river
canoe with a motor putters around the bend and chugs its way upstream. There are four people in the canoe.
Someone in a
red shirt is bailing.
