Somali Summer

accept this call?

nectarine finger

drawn forward

a heatwave longer

the temple 

here for us...

Father taught us

the Lord.

From the bell 

its throes 

tragic tears 

through earth's axis

it finds 

traces upwards.

Dromedary and heat

sand castles 

Black 

the throbbing

patterns

in an epistemological

chase to legacy

Kings, Queens and Sultans

Wars come or goes

Ever a tug 

tailed gowns

over winsome 

thorns, 

a rose kept 

well

for overture.
