The
Journey to Mount Kailash Mount
Kailash, Solitary
on the high Gangadise Way, Stands. No
range round companions it, No
Alps, no Pyranees, Andes Or
Rockies. Himalaya is leagues away. Kailash
stands alone, and high. Alone
in Xizing, This
precious jewel of the glacier snows Is
black, grey, grassless, A
single upthrust of the world’s rock crust, Flat
slashes on its silent sides – Staircase
to the sky … *
* The
Journey to Mount Kailash *
* by Robert Leach forthcoming from Indigo Dreams Publishing – October
2010 This 200 page epic follows two people
through India’s hills, plains, cities, mangrove swamps and deserts to the
holy mountain in the north. “
… a beautiful and compelling piece of writing … “ – Tom Bryan, Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellow, York University. |
