On an Oasis in the Sinai



“Be a well of fairness,” he said, as I was leaving for the desert.


I am such a deep well you
May not see even the
Shine of your own eyes
When you look into
Me. I am such a
Deep well a pebble you
Let fall from your
Elegant fingertips
Does not offer up its
Splash to your cocked,
Expectant ears. I am such
A well you should take a big
Step back, my friend,
Lest you fall head
Over heels into me,
Lest I should offer
You water again, in all
My fair warning.
