Jalaluddin Rumi Quotes
AN EMPTY GARLIC
"You Miss The Garden,
because You Want A Small Fig From A Random Tree.
You Don't Meet The Beautiful Woman. You're Joking With An Old Crone.
It Makes Me Want To Cry How She Detains You,
stinking Mouthed, With A Hundred Talons,
putting Her Head Over The Roof Edge To Call Down,
tasteless Fig, Fold Over Fold, Empty
as Dry-rotten Garlic.
She Has You Tight By The Belt,
even Though There's No Flower And No Milk Inside Her Body.
Death Will Open Your Eyes
to What Her Face Is: Leather Spine
of A Black Lizard. No More Advice.
Let Yourself Be Silently Drawn
by The Stronger Pull Of What You Really Love.
