Friendship of two poets
"Friend" is his poem
-dedicated to T. S. Eliot
-I mean Sohrab's
-…Sepehri who has
-for days, if not weeks
-hung me by my feet
-nailed my life to clouds
-I am dangling
-in the air
-reflected in the surface of a lake
-framed in my brain
"I should glad of another death"
Sohrab writes
-shows the signature
-T. S. Eliot
And I do not recall
-I who wrote of Magi
-"that is me"
Have to search
-I do
-and find
-see the abuse
-religious
And find
-what Eliot says
-and what Sohrab says
-"Open-minded
-and uneasy after learning
-shaken by openness
-and awareness
-am ready for another death
-in knowledge, enlightenment
-and awareness…"
