I Pretended to Leap

Inside water, a waterwheel turns.
A star circulates with the moon.
We live in the night ocean wondering.
What are those lights?

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Quatrains
Inside water, a waterwheel turns.
A star circulates with the moon.
We live in the night ocean wondering.
What are those lights?
Earlier, to be ready,
I loosened the leg bindings.
Today, your scent. Gratefulness
rises on the air.

Today, your scent. Gratefulness
rises on the air.
I pretended to leap
to see if I could live there.
Someday I must actually arrive there
or nothing will be left to arrive.

nor non-being. The world's
existence is not
in the world
