When Reading Hafiz, First Thing This Morning…
Sun like a naughty child
Fell out of the window
Today, from his hiding
Place behind the rain clouds
After a whole week! See his Laughing golden muddy face? See the tangled mess of his hair? And see his gang of friends –
Trees, crows, wind – eagerly waiting For him at the door, to go fishing All day in Beloved’s mirrors? He puts his weightless palm in
Mine and pulls me out of this Room, this dark self, into those Whirling fields. Goodbye now Grandpa Hafiz. Goodbye!
