Rumi

Sometimes I forget completely

what companionship is.

Unconscious and insane,

I spill sad energy everywhere.

My story gets told in various ways:

a romance,a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy.
Divide up my forgetfulness to any number,

it will go around

These dark suggestions that I follow,

are they part of some plan?

Friends, be careful.

Don't come near me

out of curiosity, or sympathy.
