santorini

they've
cleaned up the streets
for the tourist dollar.
they've
wiped the dust away.
everyone
is well dressed with  good
hair cuts.
their skin shines
with health.
even the burros that
carry us
up hill seem grateful
today.
maybe there's a rug
we'll buy,
or a ring,
a bottle of cold pressed
olive oil,
virgin, of course.
maybe
a postcard to send home.
perhaps
a scarf
or dress, a shirt.
something to remind us
of this Greek rock,
we've landed on.
the people are so beautiful,
how can we resist.
