Sirocco over Hellas


Muammar, 

If you were here I would tell you 
Today it rained buckets of red 

Dust brought from that distant 
Desert of your late despotat— 

A not unusual phenomenon when one considers
That maddening south wind blows hard 

Enough to take one’s head off.

  1. One person's mud could be another's only temporarily occluded twinkle. Though possibly Andrew Marvell was right, those might be Vast Desarts of Eternity. Time to clean those glasses!

  2. Glasses? Did you say glasses? Even after cleaning them, I'm still "The Squint-eyed Kid"!
