What Is It?


Okay. What is it?
Who knocks on my porch? Just you,
old beggar silence?

Is it my silence
that you want or these small coins?
I have not either.

Are you homeless too,
my teacher, and come in rags?
You want nakedness?

You want my gossip
against myself and the tea
of forgiveness, please?

If I can afford
a duplex, I can afford
to leave you my tsuris?

If I donÕt give you
my head, you will go thoughtless.
What do you say?

Have my thoughts for
a robe, but let me be with

you for the night.
