Late desert west
in all orange fires
early eastern night
in light indigo hues

Warm sandy waves
tepid evening breeze
forming dark shadows
down dusky dunes

Pray,
is this infinity?
Infinity?
Infinity?

Well, …

let’s look forward
to the cous-cous tonight.

On the carpets
in this Arab tent.

After the muezzin’s
call to prayer.
