I will have a party and invite
Thursday for Thursday has glossy
black hair and a ticket
to Istanbul

I will invite the road to
Nizwa which is snaking and wears
skirts of orange silk I will invite

your birthday which is a green perfume
opening with bright citrus its notes are
bergamot its notes are moss it dances
bolero and the guests

of honor at my party will be
your years to come they will offer me
cinnamon twigs and fire
bowing deeply
