Re: Vegan Café Summer Haiku 1st String

Scent of Kief at Sunset

Scent of Kief at Sunset    We meet in the Casbah when I step down the stairs like Zeus descending Olympus. Her sisters are wrapped in burqas. With my glance, they dart like little birds back into their nest. Suddenly the window opens again. Her face peeks out and she beckons me with a tongue click. ...
