Hand of Light
A crater opens in the day and swallows us whole Though we may want to wander at the base of it asking for water…
TWO SHORT POEMS
1
White moth on the
black cloth of the Ka’ba —
Do you know where you are?
2
I had a vision
everyone circumambulating the Ka’ba
turned into tiny white birds
and flew away.
