Beautiful Empty Pages

What kind of work Can I do in this world? Who would be kind enough To hire an old holy Bum, One with great reputation For loving the charms Of the lawless And the wild artists and the lewd Maybe I could become a poet. Maybe the Beloved Will make my love so Pure That He will come to sit upon All my Beautiful empty pages. And when you come to look at them, He might kick you With his Beautiful Devine Foot.   I Heard God Laughing: Poems of Hope and Joy / Renderings of HAFIZ by Daniel Ladinski
