Mystery
Mmm, Moroccan!
We made a move to our mark.
A mid-twenties mortal,
a mankind-minding mademoiselle,
marketed her merchandise.
Maybe menu?
She mistakenly made a mess,
but we didn’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
Well-mannered, she mentioned a few munches
to mull over.
What did she mean?
Motivated, we made up our minds,
but miscalculated, too much of moreish meals.
Mental musing,
moments of memories,
Middle Eastern, Mediterranean mapping
of motherland,
then modified, manipulated by military masterminds.
Migration, movements – misplaced.
Mindfulness manifested
meditation,
mellow munching with muffled music,
melting away.
