“POEM FOR SOUKA脧NA鈥�
****
To tell of my new Moroccan Love,
脭, I court her everyday.
But just as a pearl in the mud is a pearl,
So is my Love just an Arab girl鈥�
in that I offer her constant, loving woos,
but she鈥檒l ask me in return that I give her flooze*.
That鈥檚 when I kiss her and shrug, and I say, 鈥淪omeday.鈥�
And she gives me her love free anyway.
* * *
脭, my Love is a child of the souks.
In Casablanca born.
A gypsy thief, 鈥淪ouka茂na鈥� named.
We met in the souks of Marrakech,
It was here my heart she tamed.
脭, she came at nineteen to Marrakech,
In search of wild fun.
And she lived in Marrakech seven years,
Before my heart she won.”

You have probably never received those delicious epistles which I never wrote鈥攍et alone sent. But there you are selling grain in the marketplace with little Jane [Bowles]鈥攁nd now both of you adored by Berbers and strange wide-eyed men such as have never adored me. When are you coming home to your sweet old bald-head mom?”
