To help and instruct the dervish
In dance and romance and prayer”

Writing

I Died many Times Before

I watched, fascinated, as the massive snake / made its way from the roof / down the wall in front of me. / I held a long stick in my hand, tapped / the giant head as it slithered closer.

If the Planet Were Covered with Wildflowers

Why would I wake up with a wildflower- / covered world, death in China, and eternity?

Under The Sink

But what was ignited? / Who lit the fuse?

This Poem Is Not About Jesus

Somewhere in a faraway galaxy / a young planet begins.

Ta'abeen

Poetry? I can only dream of waving a magical pen, like you did. / Of words dancing, bursting into allegorical stars

Replacing The Many

The word “Love” / is as tired as “God”.
