This poem was beautiful. I loved the way you started and ended it with the same verse. I could actually hear somebody reading it, like at "twirling, spinning, clapping, evolving, changing, tripping...STOP!" Well done.

I know this is really old, but now I'm going through your past work and simply can not keep my mouth shut. I love the clarity of your central image, the dichotomy of middle-eastern chastity and desert wildness and honesty. Yet you keep it so innocent and pure. Just... Wow.
