excerpts from the sufi poet hafiz:
What
Do sad people have in
Common?
It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.
What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
So religious
Like That.
i am
a hole in a flute
that the christ's breath moves through-
listen to this
music.
i am the concert
from the mouth of every
creature
singing with the myriad
chords.

excerpts from the epic of gilgamesh (trans. herbert mason):
all that is left to one who grieves
is convalescence. no change of heart or spiritual
conversion, for the heart has changed
and the soul has been converted
to a thing that sees
how much it costs to lose a friend it loved.
it has grown past conversion to a world
few enter without tasting loss
in which one spends a long time waiting
for something to move one to proceed.
it is that inner atmosphere that has
an unfamiliar gravity or none at all
where words are flung out in the air but stay
motionless without an answer,
hovering about one's lips
or arguing back to haunt
the memory with what one failed to say,
until one learns acceptance of the silence
amidst the new debris
or turns again to grief
as the only source of privacy,
alone with someone loved.
it could go on for years and years,
and has, for centuries,
for being human holds a special grief
of privacy within the universe
that yearns and waits to be retouched
by someone who can take away
the memory of death.
