I wish i were a sufi poet

DROPPING KEYS by Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky

The small man

Builds cages for everyone

Knows.

While the sage,

Who has to duck his head

When the moon is low,

Keeps dropping keys all night long

For the

Beautiful

Rowdy

Prisoners.

I love Hafiz. He is so great. I can't remember the name of my favorite poem by him, but if it comes to me I'll let you know. You ever read Rumi, either?
