What Opens the Way is Darkness
Lean over a well
Lean over and feel Gabriel's wings
and your lack of wings.
See there
how words exist
how a human being flows into another.
Perhaps what opens the way is darkness.
Between you and me
perhaps it's just a look
where you go
in your search
for a ring inscribed with Allah.
Perhaps before Allah it's love that you seek
your search is for love.
Bejan Matur translated by Ruth Christie
