OTHERWORLDLY


Hugging the wall

As if a shadow

He sees in the dark, sure

hinted motion

converged the guards

 

My head tilted 

toward the feet

His voice strong, 

Singing, on the Fourth Way

A fakir’s timeless mantra

 

Return to the saint

adornments, to the homeless

land, then steal  

from within

a beggars’ identity

 

Wonderworker

at the gates of a nation

his re-entry barred

stood calling out

God’s hundred blinded names
