The mammoth moves backand
forth as it heaves, melts,
feeds and destroys towns,
CHANGING form.
Reaching the mouth of the
Shishper Glacier and climbing
Atop its black terrain the
Pak Khawateen watch the
world shrink as the SHISHPER
glacier asserts its glory.

HASSANABAD VILLAGE
The waters rise in the middle of the night as the glaciers melt,
meeting the
sleeping settlers on the banks, as they move and make room for
the waters,
taking down part of the Hassanabad Village.
SHISHPER GLACIER
GHULKIN GLACIER
Through the troughs and crevices
of the Ghulkin glacier, the black
ice bleeds through the town to
fill the water beds and flow
down through Hunza to meet the
Indus and feed the lands.

The magnificent white peaks being scaled by the Girl Scouts,
moving and breathing with every step, cracking, melting,
flowing, bleeding into the rivers.
