Walking through Istanbul as the moon waxes into the white nights, 

longing to see the Indus further downstream than I saw it last, 

to meander Multan,

touch Taxila,

lounge in Lahore,

hunker in Hunza, 

and gaze at the Karakoram and Kush 

while sipping some spiced chai 

and after a long journey, 

arrive.
