A Potted Plant

#poetry #hafiz #plants #beauty

Shaghayegh Mohammadi, the wife of an Iranian premier league football player, has been summoned to court in #Iran for posting a verse from 14th century poet #Hafiz on the day of former President Ebrahim #Raisi death: “Be happy that the tyrant did not make his way home.” #butcheroftehran #eatshitraisi #womanlifefreedom

Juno on my shoulder.

The Danger

This is how we wake, with winespills
On the prayer rug, and even the tavernmaster
is loading up. My life has gone
From willfullness to disrepute,
And I won't conceal, either, the joy
That led me out toward laughter…

How can someone with a light shoulder-pack
Walking the beach know how a night sea-journey is?

Hafiz! Stay in the dangerous life that's yours.
There you'll meet the face
That dissolves fear.

The
Difference
Between a good artist
And a great one

Is:

The novice
Will often lay down his tool
Or brush

Then pick up an invisible club
On the mind's table

And helplessly smash the easels and
Jade

Whereas the vintage man
No longer hurts himself or anyone

And keeps on
Sculpting

Light.
