SIGNS OF PEACE

The first light of gems
created a clear vision
beneath my eyelids

a pleated napkin
of leaves and stone walls towered
over parched twined nets

olive trees shaded
the resting workers under
the smoking mountains

unseen a dove broke
olive branches off a tree –
bringing signs of peace
