THE DOGS OF KHAO LAK Poem by Steinar Opstad

THE DOGS OF KHAO LAK



26 December 2004
The dogs sensed the wave
and bounded up the mountainsides
Thousands of people died
but not a single dog

Twenty-four hours later the dogs roamed
the ruins of the beach hotel
as calmly as in the hours before
the wave engulfed the town
