Levi Wagenmaker

a room in Fez

stuccoed walls clad in Berber kelim
glazed floor-tiles dressed in rugs
chairs draped with clothing
embroidery shunning a table-top's edge
flowering tresses half hiding a vase
a window veiled in restless muslin
a bed with satin sheets flung wide
a covered allusion to most amazing
Malika quite naked

Levi Wagenmaker (1944 - ) is a retired journalist, living in the Netherlands for most of the year, and in France for some of it, with three bitches, two of whom are dogs. Enamoured life-long with language (and languages), for reasons immaterial to the act he writes poetry in English only, even if he could most likely manage it in a few other tongues. His poems have been published on line more than in print, and Google will tell the curious what, where, and when.
