They always crawl back
expecting you to be the
same soul as before

Hip-locked suspenders.

A sweetly strung
toxic hum

Black magic woman.

Salmabanu Hatim
painted her a red rose,
my love forever,
which would never wilt.

Without rains sun pools
Unruly lilacs next door
Feeds ambrosia

This city is bedwetting
herself every night
and her face is so yellow
....
Ammonia leads you
to the bar or to the temple
no tourist guide to follow.
...................
Drunkard mapped it all
wall by wall  and
willow by willow
..........
This city bed wets
herself from the toe
to the pillow
......
It's not too young or too old,
too big or too small
too harsh or too mellow
...
At first it stings like Habanero
then hypnotizes
like a constant deep cello .

To serve some Sake
Soft light bathing the mountains
Eyes gleam as we pour
.
From Wikipedia:
In Japan, where it is the national beverage, sake is often served with special ceremony, where it is gently warmed in a small earthenware or porcelain bottle and sipped from a small porcelain cup called a sakazuki.
Sake is often consumed as part of Shinto purification rituals. Sake is served to gods as offerings.

Here I go, head first
Jumping and not being pushed
Into the deep end.
From seed to green trees
Trees giving fruit giving seeds
Full circle of life.

Sake with old friends
Leaves spring forth from hazel tree
Sharing ancient boughs

Nearest sorrow is deepest
Sorrowest is nearing deep
