We present this work in honor of the Moroccan holiday, Allegiance Day.

 

A cloud
Floating over my house
Loaded with jasmine
Gives me one
And goes away
In the rest of the sky

And a bird
Perches on the wall
fetching a letter from my lady to me
Gives me joy
And flies away
To the rest of the mountains

And a visitor knocking at my door
Shakes me out of my dream
Gives me feathers
And a voice of whiteness
And gets lost
In the rest of the day.
