Short Hookah Poems

I once knew a woman from Paducah
Who inhaled from a large Turkish hookah,
Frequently she would faint,
Refined lady she ain't
In fact, she resembled Joe Palooka.

we must be
some where

i look at you
you look at

an endless poppy field
flowers matching ruby

shoes wanted by a 
water melted witch

which happens to
be a doppelganger

of hang on here
everyone in the

land of oz is
from kansas

but the hookah
smoking caterpillar

takes another drag
puffs and asks

but
who is
Glinda?...

Saša Milivojev - SUNSET

 
God is sleeping
I hug the sun
In the orange sky
The magnet is playing
Orange hookah
The muddy water of the Nile
A secret
An echo of silence is heard
Fingers on lips
A thought
Pyramid in the chest
Shiny steel
A touch
Like a mummy
I fell asleep
Eternally
Among red corals
And God is awakening

Saša Milivojev - ON A KILIM
 

I trembled when you were gone

Away from the terrors of time

Metal and synthetics

In the Near East

I float on a kilim

Down a gusting wind

Allah

Raises dust

Water, closer

The smoke of a hookah

That’s what we are

Shhh

Something's breathing

It’s me

It’s you

We are lost

I sat there waiting
Waiting for you to show
Time kept passing
My heart at new low

Blank mind

I grabbed my purse
Got in my car
This night was a curse
I left the hookah bar

Perfect break up night
Sad music and snow
Replaying huigs so tight
It all feels like a screen show

Blank mind

It's the next morning 
Nothing makes sense
My heart is mourning
Situation has become tense

Blank mind...

just a short note

Alice visits monthly
Mad Hatter too.
did you know 
they are a pair now.
Cheshire cat had 
to have dental surgery
braces all gleamy 
through the leaves.  
Jabberwocky  gave up 
his wicked ways and 
joined a nudist zen group 
calms him you know.
some one filled the Caterpillars 
hookah full of dried grass;
he suffers from green lung
poor thing.

More news in next letter
Yours eternally
