Lost in the Medina
Tunisia 2023
The camel rests serene,
The horse stands tall,
The fish glides through water,
While José watches it all.
Half a rose-flavored cookie,
Warm nutty jam,
Pink, green, and yellow,
To eat all at once
Round, square, flat, or long,
In this place, it all belongs.
People pass, pass, and go,
They wander there
They wonder here
And there’s always an eye watching
And alone I can’t stay
Lost in the Medina I only see a slice of the sky.
Airplane In the shape of a Cloud
Planes swallowed by the sky shroud
Clouds that cries rain
Rain that leaks the ground
Hide Hide Hide and seek, cover your face, thunder is coming down
Lost in the Medina,
A labyrinth of finds,
Spices, souvenirs, porcelain, or gifts of all kinds.
There are colorful rugs,
There are rugs on the ground
Rugs to sleep, eat, drink watch TV
Very comfortable on the ground.
Lost in the Medina
Crying afraid in a corner,
So many passed by me,
Yet no one seemed to bother.
And Those who saw did not stop,
What could they do?
If I am lost I am lost
And Not know what to do
What should I do?
