Poetry About Dubai

Morning turns the towers pale beside the Gulf. Cranes lift another floor into the heat. Workers carry many languages through the metro. Beyond the highway, dunes keep older weather. The city rises between salt and sand. Dubai mirrors every future it can build.

Look again from the quieter edge. Cranes lift another floor into the heat. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. Beyond the highway, dunes keep older weather. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Dubai mirrors every future it can build.

Morning turns the towers pale beside the Gulf. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Workers carry many languages through the metro. It returns us to desert, towers, migration, commerce, heat, shoreline, and a city shaped by rapid change. The city rises between salt and sand. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
