Olive

The sound from the mustard grains

with terrible marvel crossing shores

Commands silence.


The puppet mimes their hideous noise

Ignorant, sands hide secrets

better than the home of her turquoise.


In the battle between the breath of passion

and the breath of survival

The soldier in the warrior’s land

dies in wilderness.
