ALLAH

After you eased yourself
on top of me
and leaned forward,
your long hair fell around
our faces like an arabian tent
holding in the desert air.

As I pulled your quivering lips
down to mine, your eyes closed
and the tent collapsed around us
spewing the desert heat into our groins.

Paul Polansky
