Hovering, the filament of the wings above,
Python grasped,
The imperceptible glancing whisper of a breath against the skin.
Contorting supple,
Muscular & arching,
Dahan, dahan, lang,
Transient equipoise of the hotel third floor,
Dry, desert air,
And a pause between the mortal & the gates of heaven,
I’m coming home Father,
That night in Dubai.
