Majesty by Amir Elzeni

Peeling a cucumber
staring out
the kitchen window
it's 92 degrees
but all I see
is snow

falling down
on sculptures
fountains
gargoyles angels
black iron fence
calm
silence

it's spring
in my snow

red roses with
white flakes
blue butterflies

humming birds
kissing honeysuckle
rows of purple lavender
arbors of climbing
white roses and
orange morning glory,

I light
a lilac candle
pour
a glass of red wine
put a pillow
behind your back,

I gently crush
a cucumber
with fresh mint,
sage, jasmine
and rose petals
to massage and
kiss your feet.
