1. More delightful than exquisite cocktails
And my coffee of Turkish beans and Kirkuk,

2. A gurgling from the water of an October night
Like the clanking of a Yemeni sword unsheathed,

3. It spent the night on a mound of soft wool
Breezes caress it with perfumed breath

4. In the bowl a beautifully crafted work of art
Green in the greenness of October foliage

5. Are you not, o deprived one, so unfortunate
