I dream a dream
untainted by the fouls
of man
that I could camel in the heat
without being tormented
by man
nor scorned at seeking refuge
under the olive tree
by man
.
I dream I knelt
and pray for the breath
of God
to fluff me away
from the pharaohs’ grip
by God
and away from the pyramids
which held no grain
of God
.
and let go completely..
