Iraq - 2008
Some WIP from the desert.
Sumerian sun through the City of Ur a sandstorm
orange clouds a taste in my mouth of dirt
gray sky looking through shades for color
Iraqi night satellites prettier than stars
witching hour music laced with the whir of treadmills
desert moon tilting the hour glass with a sigh
bunker time a fly on the wall squashed
desert dawn the only colors a mango sky
blue skies little birds beneath the date palm
cold morning the desert sun atop the Ziggurat
Abraham's home crumbling ancient bricks beneath my feet
noonday wait the heft of PPE gear on my back
lonely walk in mounds of rubble looking for...what?
