THE WARRIOR

The warriors tame 
The beasts in their past 
So that the night’s hoofs 
Can no longer break the jeweled vision 
In the heart. 

The intelligent and the brave
 Open every closet in the future and evict 
All the mind’s ghosts who have the bad habit 
Of barfing everywhere.

For a long time the Universe 
Has been germinating in your spine 

But only a Pir* has the talent, 
The courage to slay 
The past-giant, the future-anxieties. 

The warrior 
Wisely sits in a circle 
With other men 
Gathering the strength to unmask 
Himself, 

Then 
Sits, giving, 
Like a great illumined planet on 
The 
Earth.

*Persian:Saint Hafiz
