Lhasa, the cashier told me.

It was in some cafe or bookstore or shop somewhere,
this music was playing, a woman was singing in
another language while holding my heart in her hand.
Arrested, I stood still and listened while the entire song
played, and when it was over, I looked at the woman
I was there with, the woman I was married to, and it was
as though she had not even heard. I felt very lonely then.
