A Bedouin's Hope Ignites
After the doctor tells Ahmad
his test results, Ahmad says
he needs a new place to live.
His tent’s in ruins, Ahmad says.
His body will soon shake a final time
and turn to dust in the sun.
In the trees vultures preen as
Ahmad rides his camel into the hills.
He will die in a new place to live.
