Middle Eastern Poetry1. Spontaneous Wandering
I take down my King James to look up the passage about love (charity) in 1 Corinthians 13. There is a tiny red ant living in Corinth. It walks to the top and along the gold edges. Spontaneous wandering is a favorite region of the heart. It may look like mindless drift, but it isnât. More the good Don and Sancho out for their inspired adventures, quixotic and panzaic.5 The ant is my teacher.
We see through a glass darkly, then face-to-face. A more polished mirror shows us who we truly are. The wandering of Rumiâs poetry is a model for the soulâs lovely motions. When thirst begins to look for water, water has already started out with a canteen, looking for thirst. Love feels like sliding along the eddies and currents of the tao.
Pir Vilayat Khan6 recently commented to me, âYour first Rumi volumes seemed very sexual.â Heâs right. There is too much of that energy in the first work with Rumi I did, especially in some of the quatrains. I was very wet with such water at the time myself. I was thirty-nine. Now Iâm sixty-five. Things change; nothing wrong with that. Whatâs truly alive is always changing.
Gay lovers hear Rumiâs poetry as gay. I donât agree, though Iâm certainly guilty of previously loading Rumiâs poetry with erotic fruit. I donât do that now. Rumi is way happier than sex and orgasms, his wandering more conscious and free. See âImraâu âl-Qaysâ in the next section. Rumi and Shams wander in that country.
Perhaps the purest wanderer of our time is Nanao, like Basho in his. Gary Snyder says about him,
This subtropical East China Sea carpenter and spear fisherman finds himself equally at home in the desert. So much so that on one occasion when an eminent traditional Buddhist priest boasted of his lineage, Nanao responded, âI need no lineage. I am desert rat.â But for all his independence Nanao Sakaki carries the karma of Chungtzu, En-no-gyoja, Saigyo, Ikkyu, Basho, and Issa in his bindle. His work or play in the world is to pull out nails, free seized nuts, break loose the rusted, open up the shutters. You can put these poems in your shoes and walk a thousand miles.
GO WITH MUDDY FEET
When you hear dirty story
wash your ears.
When you see ugly stuff
wash your eyes.
When you get bad thoughts
wash your mind.
and
and
Keep your feet muddy.7
âNanao Sakaki
Excuse my wandering.
How can one be orderly with this?
Itâs like counting leaves in a garden,
along with the song notes of partridges,
and crows. Sometimes organization
and computation become absurd.
FIVE THINGS
I have five things to say,
five fingers to give into your grace.
First, when I was apart from you,
this world did not exist, nor any other.
Second, whatever I was looking for was always you.
Third, why did I ever learn to count to three?
Fourth, my cornfield is burning!
Fifth, this finger stands for Rabia,8
and this is for someone else.
Is there a difference?
Are these words or tears?
Is weeping speech?
What shall I do, my love?
So the lover speaks, and everyone around
begins to cry with him, laughing crazily,
moaning in the spreading union
of lover and beloved.
This is ...
