for Maalouf

pour sand
from the mug of greed

 

freely

 

from empty fingers

 

into morning


there is no more succulent promise
than waiting for the wind

 

to blow the autumn rains
onto the parched earth

 

to watch the skies as they hurry

 

the mirrors in the olive tops
speak directly to your eye


blue the rains come
