arrive midnight
arrive midnight in the Gulf
humid touchdown o Christ
sweat, engulf
(flamingos. flamingos!
tucked into the last salt marsh)
tarmac to eight lanes
black asphalt,
hot BMWs, Porsches
Jags, Mercs
and mercs in black
polo shirts, Oakleys, tattoos
Dubai, 2009
stopover before I fly
into
the war zone.
Dubai Airport Midnight
