We looked out over the valley, washed clean by the midnight rain ...

I'll go for a walk if Jane comes Anne said - 

She knew how terrified I was of the dogs guarding the herds of goats - 

Jane, though, had dog knowledge - 

She had silenced Pasha with a pepper spray - 

He runs away now when he see me Jane said - 

We walked along the old Izmir Road - 

Camels had once stalked past these oleanders - 

The warm cobbles remembered gentle sandals - 

Behind us, I heard the faint sound of bells, hung round the necks of silken eared goats - 

Jane quickened her pace - 

We made our way up the fire break - 

Blue wild flowers were framed by thorns - 

We looked out over the valley, washed clean by the midnight rain -
