Gibli
the dunes recline
in sensual posture spread
a wind whipped woman, nude
upon the Saharan bed
in virgin form, she sleeps
and dreams and slowly sheds
grain by grain, her pearl line skin
softly caressed by the nomadic wind
she moans and shifts her innocense
to expose the secrets of the bedouin
the soft curve of hip and rippled waist
and crevasses by shadow blessed
in a moment vanishes
and is replaced by desert and emptyness
