Taste Ghazni
Dry, dusty, and shimmering hot.
Sometimes there is an insence like aroma
of burning cedar and roasting meat,
more often the streets reek
of human and animal waste.
Dust coats everything,
dulls everything
to different shades of brown and grey.
The ghostlike berkas the women wear
look like puddles
left behind
by the cloudless Afghan sky.
