monday night rumi


The hurt you embrace becomes joy.
Call it to your arms where it can


change. A silkworm eating leaves

makes a cocoon. Each of us weaves


a chamber of leaves and sticks.
Silkworms begin to truly exist

as they disappear inside that room.
Without legs, we fly. When I stop


speaking, this poem will close,

and open its silent wings....
