Silk Road

In Kashagan
The silk road begins
I bought
An apricot 
From a woman
wearing
A red shawl
Over her black hair.
A yellow dress
She was stunning.
Kashagan
Has the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world
Europe is puny
And far away.
A new silk road
Is being 
Constructed 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade.
that is ok
as long 
as they sell apricots
