at sun rise

I am listening to Wolf Parade and watching the sun rise over Bangkok.

The sky is a purple-magenta colour. Clouds are forming.

I'll be exploring the streets and buying clothes from markets later today.

But right now, I am praying for mercy to saturate this city.

And hoping my roommate wakes up soon so we can go eat.

Our condo is ten blocks east from the Chao Phraya River, facing north.

The Klong Tooey slums are waiting to be seen, somewhere to the east.

It fascinates me that Bangkok means "City of Angels": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok.

I have been thinking about angels a lot, lately. I believe they are with me.
