Three Short Poems


Madame Sandra

When I visited the apartment of Madame Sandra

I found her wearing a red Japanese gown

This elaborate gown was decorated with many flowers

Which fell as she moved from room to room

 

The Fruits of the Maghreb

The tulip girl feeds the dazed honey bees

As her horses search for the silver fruits

That can only be found

In the shimmering deserts of the Maghreb

 

Beautiful Skin

I often watch angels bathe

In the foothills of heaven

But I do not linger

As I have to return to the mountains
