Dervish

A curtain fell between heaven and earth 

And heaven could no more be seen

The butterfly that flitted by got caught 

On a demon and died on his sleeve 

Molten wax set on her in layers so thick  

That I could  hardly move 

I lifted the limp thing and draped it on me 

Dancing in whirls and twirls

And I felt the dervish in my soul 

And felt what he felt in his
