#the second pilgrim bell: my savior has powers and he needs. / to be convinced to use them. / up until now he has been. / a no-call no-show.
Quote
Dark on both sides.
Makes a window.
Into a mirror. A man.
Holds his palms out.
To gather dew.
Through the night. Uses it.
To wash before.
Dawn prayer.
Only a god.
Can turn himself into.
A god.
The earth buckles.
Almond trees bow.
To their own roots. Fear.
Comes only.
At our invitation but.
It comes. It came.
Kaveh Akbar, from “Pilgrim Bell.”
