Sail my Letter by Mohammad Hadi Tariq

With this leafy pen like old poets
I pen on the off-white paper in a flow:
“Laugh, at your fullest, to spoil for once”
“all those weapons deploy’d once.”
“Wake the sleepers at sunrise.”
“Let the rays through those dull eyes.”
“Inhale the sunny smoke till Sun sets.”
“And, I guess, nothin’s here that upsets.”

So take this paper as an informer.
Read my words to the foreigner’.

“Open the window of thy room.”
“and fly out high with a broom.”
“Look at the miseries beneath thy feet.”
“Beautifully brok’n hearts on the streets.”
“Spell a name on that stick”
“and cleanse the earth before it be sick.”
“We are by this world; this world is by us.”
“Ah! Is it a charismatic trust?”

So take this page as a reformer.
Announce my words as adorner.

“For a rose as long doesn’t bloom”
“as you don’t sow the maturing seeds.”
“And, here, the spirits no more gloom.”
“Perhaps, they are incurable breeds.”
“Or, perhaps, I am so mean.”
“Then, ask oneself, who is thee?”
“”What should, at last, ye be?”
“How should thou mind see?”

So take this note as inquirer.
Return with message as responder.
