The Smiling Man
After a long hiatus I offer a piece that came from my recent Greek Odyssey.
The Smiling Man
Ululant sobs of brush-cutters
piercing its Elysian peace,
rivers of tourists cascade

the evil emir like a bleeding lion,
his twisting, vengeful face now full with
requieted lust; your wisdom shines
