Dropping Keys: A Poem by Hafiz

Dropping Keys, A Poem By Hafiz

The small person

Builds cages for everyone

She

Sees.

Instead, the sage,

Who needs to duck her head,

When the moon is low,

Can be found dropping keys, all night long

For the beautiful,

Rowdy,

Prisoners.
- Hafiz

I like the poem because I had

I like the poem because I had to read it twice to get it. Maybe I should read everything twice to get it.

The question it leaves me with is, who am I, the small person or sage?

I will share this poem with others.
