House that dreams it is a house and wakes up
a villa,1 staring through mirrored glasses across
the Persian Gulf.2 House with sand roses and cumin,
water filters, screaming red fire ants. Their castles
the first to go; like violence predicting its own
arrival. House full of fire ants. I can call it an embassy3
and almost be telling the truth. The geckos
operatic4 in the ceiling, the way the sand cat
must have looked, her stomach spread across
the warm patio tiles, her eyes pressed firmly
shut. The house all heat, that heard the word âwarâ
only when a child mispronounced it and stopped,
forefinger stalled in the copy of Arab News
until her father read it back to her. House that was
a sun-spoke5 in a compound6 in the desert. One day
a woman would draw the design from a satellite image,
weld it into a charm for a hot bronze necklace
and squinting, turn it over in her hand.
