Gypsy is hot

posted by Panamint Patty

Awesome poem by political activist and author John Ross who died last January. It's about Gypsy:



Scroll down and read the one called "Wanted." Panamint Patty is straight, but this poem gets her kinda hot, anyways.

This has nothing at all to do with Manson. But if Patty likes poetry, maybe she will like this. I love it. It is originally in Urdu, "the language of poetry" the Indians say. I found it by accident and I adore it. The poet is Faiz Ahmed Faiz


The trees are dark ruins of temples,
seeking excuses to tremble
since who knows when–
their roofs are cracked,
their doors lost to ancient winds.
And the sky is a priest,
saffron marks on his forehead,
ashes smeared on his body.
He sits by the temples, worn to a shadow, not looking up.

Some terrible magician, hidden behind curtains,
has hypnotized Time
so this evening is a net
in which the twilight is caught.
Now darkness will never come–
and there will never be morning.

The sky waits for this spell to be broken,
for history to tear itself from this net,
for Silence to break its chains
so that a symphony of conch shells
may wake up to the statues
and a beautiful, dark goddess,
her anklets echoing, may unveil herself.

Nice! Is the "beautiful dark goddess" Kali, perchance? Thanks for sharing. Patty loves poetry, but she can't write it herself.
