Don’t Go Back to Sleep
from Rumi:
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
between two worlds, which touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
***
from me:
The election is twelve days away.
Don’t go back to sleep.
