WHAT STILL TEACHES ME
Don't wash a wound with blood. -Rumi
Rumi: What hurts you blesses you.
Me: Awe is the leaf of a tree
fallen on your vision.
Awe is the way
through the enchanted familiar.
The full moon at 4 a,m,
teaches me silence
teaches me song
The sun at midday
riots through the window
to show me when I am wrong.
Stay with the moonlight.
It is sunlight without sound.
