Caravanserai

through darker eyes and feel the color

of sunshine
of lush Nile green
of rich brown dirt
that blends and dances
in Arab spring

that mellow gone blue

onto a desert heat

pain slithers the edges

in the ruins

from Damascus
to
Giza
all through the Maghreb too

begotten with

cruel purple illusion
in the
state of abuse

a Griffon Vulture flies in Asia
as her wings send vibrations that stir the winds
until it becomes a storm off the Mediterranean Sea

skies of grey discontentment

non-colors…

opposite of incandescence
painted in black
intangible explores the terrain

blue tangled across their eyes
with each stroke of repose

wind wrapped
in
deathly scent

breathe in

the contour of change

captured in mid-reach

taste this journey

this Caravanserai that enslaves
