Fast Day 120 September 19 2009 {Ghazelles}


Ghazelles

O, delight of the eyes!
dancing in the court of the sun!
dancing to the lyre of enchantment!
my bewildered thought...
my plain and simple passion...
beating my heart like a dhow upon
the Red Sea's storm!
the dynamite of touch!
razzia of devotion!
melt slowly...
into the ghazelle's soft, wet
tender muzzle!

razzia - a desert raid by desert tribes

Idare ediyorum.

That is the extent of my memory of Central Asia...other than "public restroom" for which I hope the term is "hammaam" just as it is in Arabic.
