Poem of the Week: Rumi

From Poem of the Week, whose byline reads:


Larry Birkhead or Howard K. Stern

The identity of this week's PW Editor is still in doubt, and two men are claiming it's their rightful title.

Hoot. Okay, the poem:

When grapes turn
To wine, they long for our ability to change.

When stars wheel
Around the North Pole,
They are longing for our growing consciousness.

Wine got drunk with us,
Not the other way.
The body developed out of us, not we from it.

We are bees,
And our body is a honeycomb.
We made
The body, cell by cell we made it.
