HOT SPELL
With little but sand
curved like desert dunes
on the estuary where
there has before
always been water
you begin to feel closer
to Babylon on
the road to Samarkand
where you will meet
little water too
and much rockier places;
though here in England
nomads and bandits
and camel trains
are anachronistic - well
maybe the latter for
urban bedouin do not
as a rule possess camels.
