FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

the world is a metaphor
of the self,
it has a Sahara
it has an oasis somewhere
a row of date palms
a camel and
a Bedouin and the wind
and the moon
a tent for a
dwelling,

my heart too has a
Sahara
i hide a date palm in my
hands
a camel in my mind
the moon in my eyes
you are always my tent
and i am
your Bedouin
forever
