Leaving Cannibal Island
P. A. Ker
- Tibetan
- scholar
- Thupten
- Yangtso
- was
- an
- old
- man
- by
- then,
- but
- still
- relatively
- hale
- and
- hearty
- for
- one
- of
- his
- ethnicity.
- The
- recent
- loss
- of
- Beta
- Hammond
- inevitably
- depressed
- his
- spirits,
- though
- in
- his
- tradition
- dying
- wasn't
- seen
- as
- a
- final
- parting;
- he
- rallied
- as
- best
- he
- could,
- knowing
- that
- he
- wouldn't
- be
- far
- behind.
- Perhaps
- they'd
- meet
- again
- in
- their
- next lives.
