none

sad
half a bowl leaves me
much happier
soothed
and the whole bowl
satisfied

sad
distraction doesn't come
not in thoughts of war in far lands
nor brethren without bowls
or food
or roofs


consolation didn't arrive
in the unknowable future
or hard won experiences.

finishing dregs
my sincere wish
is to somehow be filled.

  5. Very nice poem! The last line "somehow be filled" is really good and it goes back to the bowl in the beginning of the poem.

  6. Sweet poem! Ensha Allah you will be filled with more than what's in the bowl! What did you ever decide about that thing we discussed awhile ago. Email me if you want to.
