Poolside Rock Shimmering in the Sun

Like a gift from the heavens Appearing from a fragment of the past

It heard me remembering Pammukkale

The hills of Calcium deposits mirroring a metaphorical cream puff

Melting in pools where Sufi dancers once whirled

To Rhythms of Mysticism

Where I tasted the licorice drink of Rocky

With disco balls turning on a timeless dancefloor

Where women dancers shimmered their coins with scarfs blowing in the soft Summer air

As if only a Mirage from an Oasis long ago
