small bowls
exuding an exotic fragrance
are placed all over the house
the old settlers cottage smells
like a persian bazaar
clouds of gudang garam smoke
come to mind at a coq fight
in the east indies
like
the cross and garlic to the vampire
the cloves are to the mouse
meanwhile
i sleep with one eye open
all night
consider getting other weapons
a small army of killer cats perhaps
Mid Week Motif - PU
Perhaps!
ReplyDeleteI really like your words Rall for they have been an education too. I googled gudang garam as I didn’t know of it – and now I do!
ReplyDeleteAfter checking, I see it is Saturday in Australia already, so Happy Australia Day for yesterday!

Thank you Anna. This blog is a gold mine of useless information:)
ReplyDeleteCock fight reminds me of the 18th and 19th Bengal when this was a very common entertainment. They fought with knife and one got killed while catering joy :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me smile at work on a Saturday Rall!
