THE BREAD LOAF JOURNAL
Oman’s Khareef RABIAH KHALIL | VERMONT In a tri-sidereal span the thirsty Boswellia are nursed by the engorged winds of Gujarat. Sand is shodden in marsh-rosemary slippers and adorned with shawls of sea-lavender. Rosettes of the Dhofarian jaguar spotted prowling the bewildered camel in the low and sated fog. Its hooves steeped in the sweet mud of Darjeeling.
Author’s note: Inspired by the monsoons of Oman and the beauty of Salalah
