The Song of the Reed by Mina Gorji after Rumi

Inside the reed a wainscot moth winters, as an egg.

Inside the reed a secret, longing for the wind.

Inside the reed a message gathers into ink.

— Art of Escape by Mina Gorji (Page 13)

The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness

from "Saint Francis and the Sow" by Galway Kinnell
