  • Dubai in mind

    I wrote this a few weeks ago whilst sitting in a workshop in Kenya on the 13th of May this year funnily enough. Stu had accepted the position and the ball had begun to roll..

    I imagine.
    Thundering hooves and shifting sand,
    a breath of air.
    Artificial oasis’s upon
    a dry and unforgiving land.

    A woman laughs.
    The chink of glasses raised in toast,
    a successful delivery.
    A well newly sunk
    which will bring great hope.

    I expect.
    Searing outdoor heat and cool interiors,
    a shopping mecca.
    Cultures combined where
    ladies dine in comfort with warriors.
