Of
Kabul I recall,
men

proud,

an
open air market,
bags
of spices,

orange, russet
a
hotel for hippies,
embassy
row, pretentious,
a
Rhodesian hippy, talkative,
Afghan
coats, exquisite,
the
exotic sky,
lapis

early
November,
no
storm clouds on the horizon.
Of
Spain, I recall Barcelona,
the
hanging ham cafes,
art
nouveau facades,
the
sunshine, oh the sunshine,
after
a sodden English winter
the
Gaudi cathedral, curious,
a
pristine beach,
swimming
nude in Ibiza
an
Argentinian restaurant,
a
decadent dessert,
the
brilliant scarves of the men,
a
white-washed fonda,
a
maroon-eyed dog by a maroon door,
chess
at night by the sea,
the
March winds,
the
sea breeze
