Her Friend
Image by Kelly Cheng
Her Friend
she doesn't know
her friend has come
she won't be able
to write down
anything he says
he won't have a place
in her notebook
along with Kabir
and the Theravadins
many years later
she will remember
sitting with an old man
a curious nakedness
of thought
between them
that nakedness
that transparency
will lead her home.
Leonard Cohen
from BOOK OF LONGING.
