Yaqoob Ghaznavi!

Dragon Feast

in front
of the balcony
on opaque air
slightly
above the clothesline
a snake charmer
is dancing
to the heartbeat
of his cobra

his jealous wife
is not pleased
starts a big fire
flames destroy
the illusion
of a dance floor

oncoming traffic
splashing into the smoke
comes to a sudden halt

the snake charmer
plummets 
into oleander bushes
barely avoids heart failure

witches of the north
cobra’s distant cousins
hold counsel
debate lawsuit
damages
bribes

before consensus is reached

the night-well dries up
