We Found Ourselves<\/p>\n

A Collage Poem<\/p>\n

By<\/p>\n

Jennifer Angelina Petro<\/p>\n

(Using words and phrases from the book, \u201cThe Man of Light in Iranian Sufism,\u201d<\/p>\n

by Henry Corbin, 1962, 1971, in addition to my own.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We found ourselves following the presence,<\/p>\n

the insatiable object and secret of all\u2014<\/p>\n

the sun of the heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We went together, surrendering<\/p>\n

the cartographic, the decipherable.<\/p>\n

We moved through luminous darkness,<\/p>\n

following the black light<\/p>\n

through a region without any coordinates<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

until we came to a field of light,<\/p>\n

and we gave birth to ourselves,<\/p>\n

to a thousand theophanies<\/p>\n

of every grain of wheat,<\/p>\n

of every waving, ray of light<\/p>\n

shedding in all directions,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

where the ascensional<\/p>\n

descended to the very place<\/p>\n

where we stood, hand in hand,<\/p>\n

orientated in time,<\/p>\n

cherishing the earth of it all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
