Mirrors of Mercury
Who is Shams and who Rumi
is like asking who is fork and who knife when apart they sing not a single verse
to nourish my blood with curry and rice

Who is mirror and who reflection
Is that me ? I ask you
as I watch your slender bones
move in your leather boot
your wild slow eyes reflecting YES !
when my maiden across the room
gives a wicked laugh of No !

Who is this dissident beret alongside me ?
Is it me ahead of my future road .....
will someone stroke my back,
give me ear
as I urge my body to be young in
takkies and snazzy leather jacket ?

Aah ! Mirrors of Mercury !
Give respite from a million images of Self
as I circle the unveiled Flow of Fate
Fully awake to naked
Ant
