In the Medina

Your smile

is dazzling white.

Your touch

is tender and light.

Your embrace

is embued with radiating warmth.

Your kiss

is sweetly scented with mint.

You are an Arab man

Greeting your male friend

In the Medina.

If you want Henna?

‘If you want Henna?’

The signs read in the Fes Medina.

Is it a statement, or is it a question?

It is such an unreconciled sentence.

Unsatisfying

as the pale orange scribble I am left with on my hand.
