Notes from A Tunisian Journal

Notes from a Tunisian Journal by Rita Dove This nutmeg stick of a boy in loose trousers! Little coffee pots in the coals, a mint on the tongue. The camels stand in all their vague beauty- at night they fold up like accordions. All the hedges are singing with yellow birds! A boy runs by with lemons in his hands. Food's perfume, breath is nourishment. The stars crumble, salt above eucalyptus fields.
