- Cups of sooty coffee
criss-cross darkening stains
on Chinese porcelain,
echoing a prophecy
of a Turkish soothsayer,
a destiny embossed on
those parched cracks
between the folds of
the mandarin cup, a topaz
vision, may be a hallucination
or myriad psychedelics at
work a Bedouin on a caravan
gilding on golden dunes,
a nomadic predicament
a home neither here
nor there!
A mesmerizing poem, Tanya!
