about big orange shoes

twinkle toes

and big orange turbans

Rickshaw runners

Flip Flop

Slippery skin

shrimp in a tree.

Sea food gone green.

Chai tea and me

say “good Morning”

I wave to the day

Hello sandy sea

Constantly changing

Crach over crest

Running up and along

The big orange shore.

The sea once swam here

but not anymore.

All that remains

two large dunes

lke

Big orange shoes

Tabla tumble and trip

an ear skin tickle beats.

like train rides

a trance

a mid winter dance.

Solstice in the desert.

we move like devils

by flicker of firelight.

Enchanting snake eyes

Stare, from the face of a camel driver.

He fixed me Thali

Tasty and hot.

Then rode to Pakistan

He passed me by

on a big orange camel

and smiled.

He touched my heart

that desert stranger,

and disappeared.

Leaving silence and sand

and sand.
