3 Suffi Poems

 

1.


My faces asked:
the right face asked for water
the left face asked for milk
I took the breast
and the milk was watered
the water was milk.


2.

 
I heard the wind of the desert
calling out my name
who am I when I am
who am I when I am not.
I am the world.
I am God.


3.


On my way to Mecca
barefoot
and with a white cloak
I drank the desert's thirst
and ate the desert's
bread.
