my translation of a poem by RUMI
I'm swimming
in the flood
which has yet to come
I'm shackled
in the prison
which has yet to be built
I am the checkmate
in a future game of chess
I'm drunk with your wine
which sits untasted
I'm a corpse on a battlefield
of long ago
I don't
know the difference
between idea and reality
Like the shadow of a pot
I am
and am not.
