Painting of a wooden bowl of tabouleh

Daylight heat on heavy pine table

a wooden bowl of fresh tabouleh: sweet, fragrant of herb

Gathering around

twelve monkeys carefully, curious

a snake, scaly white and black, waiting

a crow, the black eyed observer

piles of fine sand, golden in the sun

sad cubes of ice, slowly, dripping

thirsty butterflies, fluttering wings!

Overhead, overgrowing the horizon, a stormy foreshadowing.
