Wind Devils
I saw wind devils
in North Africa!
during kamsin
wind raised the sand
you couldn’t see land, sea or me…
the howling
would get on your nerves
powdery dust
enter under closed doors
useless to vacuum
for 50 days my brown carpets
went tan…
I’d cover my head and my face
whenever I went out…
the wind devils
danced up and down the streets…
Gaddafi was still young.
nice Poem… reminded me of Herbert’s Dune series… the word Shaitan evoked the images in my head… Herbert borrowed heavily from terms in Arabic and Hebrew in writing the series.
