Poem a Day #4 April 2011

The khan’s legacy
sand and legend
the winds still whisper his name
across the wide steppes
the broad plains
through mountain passes
hidden and fortified
the silk and spices
regulated by the great horsemen
financed empire
until chaos
returned

dust devils
swirling
in
time

(Mongolia)
