from THE INVISIBLE SUN
– Attar, translated
by Sholeh Wolpe

You do what you always do
and never worry about the angel
of death at your heels.

Life dashes faster than you think.
don’t be deaf to these words.

The cotton you’ve stuffed in your ears
is cut from your own shroud.

Am feeling like it's time for a media fast for me for a while. Fortunately, I have few followers and those who'll miss my scribblings will know I'll come back on the other side.

Be kind.
