Kuala Lumpur: A city that contains so much congestion and construction. Dull and yet vibrantly alive. Clouds loom threatening afternoon rain on one horizon and yet they break showing the sun over the mosque on the other.

For every cry in the night Somebody says, “Have faith!” "Be content inside your questions" "Minotaurs inside a maze" Tell me what’s the point of light That you have to strike a match to find? So throw away those lamentations We both know them all too well If there’s a book of Jubilations We’ll have to write it for ourselves So come and lie beside me darling And let’s write it while we still got time So if you got a light, hold it high for me

sweet, sublime, subtle, summery, sultry, and so satisfying. listen. now.

and we get kissed by bees.
