St. Catherine Poem by RIC BASTASA

St. Catherine



the first time
i saw a Bedouin in
St. Catherine

he drove us in his
old white car
fading with the dust
everywhere

he has four wives
and eighteen children
and four horses

he owns no house
but he has also five camels

he tells his story
about Moses and Sinai
and the burning bush and
the tablets

at twelve the monks will
hold mass
inside the monastery


we have to pay him
30 U.S. dollars each.....
