Lost In Land Of Hidden Imams

Rating: 5.0


like aurobindo* i fly
free from all baited nets

to shining city so bright
black letters blind sight

and passersby avert glances

at the man standing
in marketplace palms open

with a big clot of blood
spreading over his shirt

where his heart used to be
before he ripped it out


* Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) ?
