Delightfully Turkish

Tiny bus bumps along Ephesian roads 
bright orange sun hangs overhead scorching 
uneven ground lined with creases 
library; crumbled and marked 
with seal--Medusa’s hair 
coiling around, eyes 
burning my soul 
she sends chills 
down my 
spine.

Jesse, I am in awe the way you transport me into the experience of your poem. I now feel as though I've been traveling... I love the way the heat from the sun sheds light on the ride and what you discover, and that burning stare--- to end with a chill and fear makes a nice contrast.. I don't know how you do it. I'm going to keep an eye on your poems Tamra
