Kaf, A Scorching Wind
November 2, 2010
You were made from fire like a genie
into human form,
made without rib bones and clay,
climbed through limbs of trees
placing them as your flesh
(and I am better for it).
We met in the Majlis al Jinn
under the light from Cheryl’s drop
where only you could see me
through dust and bits of glitter.
Still, I am nothing but,
(smokeless yet not smokeless)
and you are the shapeshifter
sent to seduce me.
Here there are two paradises,
you breathe and I breathe in.
