In the Kabul Bazaar

[Suz-zen]

Tanner REAlly like:
Where does that burnished space
Now reside
Infinitely split into numinous worlds

[Tanner]

You that day
Were complexity showing off her virtuous wares
In the vivid marketplace

The Afghan peddlers
With their hammered copper ewers
Clumped together
Amid the pomegranate-coloured rugs piled high
From Mazar-i-Sharif

Where does that burnished space
Now reside
Infinitely split into numinous worlds

If I could go back
Put my hand firmly in yours
That day
The languorous flies draped like a black chadri
On dangling Halal goats

If I could go
