Walking To Campus In Winter By Sam Earp

Walking to campus I longed for You Through veiled eyes, In knotted trees, I tried to rustle From leafless branches Truth's void asylum... I couldn't. Evergreen boundaries Kept me crawling, The wrong curb Eternally falling Back and back Away from longing... Ok. I am weak. But no refugee Apple in bowl Or rice in hand, Breast or Dhikr On red wet tongue Deserves to live This Loneliness
