Preparatory sketch
Boum !
Not weighed down by those horrible aromatic oils
The coffee of Egypt is good
The cardamom frolics in it alone this time
Long-handled copper cup
and stifled laughter
For the feast of the Virgin
They set off fireworks
Rockets and Bengal lights
The last one, toppling backwards
goes straight into the crowd
A few cries, new dance steps
And a silk blouse burnt
the newcomers, aroma of China smoke
said, delighted
That it was the grand finale!
