\nsmall boats curtseying at anchor,
\ngreen palace-dotted hills swarming
\nthe spice-scented shore of Asia Minor.<\/p>\n
\nof waves, scything and winnowing light
\nwith the wash of every passing craft,
\nand each heave of the ocean\u2019s breath.<\/p>\n
\nseasoned with a pinch of myrrh:
\nthe taxi driver says, \u2018Today hot
\nbut slow, slow, winter comes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
