DEATH OF A POET 6

The greatest celebration of all!
The funeral of Jelal ad-Din Rumi

To Konya:
cannabis crazies,
vats of red wine,
merchants with no merchandise,
women with hearts of gold,
drunken musicians,
a wild, raging wind,
total abandon,
the promise of Spring,
caravans painting
the cosmos red,
nights without end,
illuminati,
thieves and mystics,
all the gods,
a sprig of misfortune,
the vast all-feeling
all-seeing
constellation
of Shams Tabriz,
the essence of nature,
the void,
contradictory sensations,
the future
tiny and infinite,
the uncontained
frenzy
of eternally
letting go,
whisps of wisdom,
hypocrites and liars
who will see the light,
permanently stoned
dancers spinning
effortlessly,
stars singing,
particles popping..

The greatest celebration of all!
The funeral of Jelal ad-Din Rumi
