Every year on this day
the Arabs
silently
turn towards The West1
kiss the earth on their hands
and mourn the country
where they no longer live the sea
weightless the nights volatile the earth
fluid
where their ancestors
lit the blithesome bonfires of love
1 In Arabic, Al Gharb; the lands known today as the Algarve.

So symbolic with the photo automatically assumed of the sun setting;
Which here now speaks on so many levels.

My Erotic Taleover 18 years agoI like the literary creations, and enjoyed the sea rock and sand (begining) the best so far. As a series this is a very good set.
