Thursday ghazal

The day of Jesus washing feet’s today,

a day when everything’s replete today.


I’ve gobbled fruit and vegetables down

and made a last attack on meat today.


My stomach’s full, my teeth have done their work

so now’s a time that we could meet today.


Can we tell our truth in love and coldness

or fire up anger, lies and cheat today?


All circles start and finish on a rim

and round and round we could repeat today.


It’s warm in sunshine, colder in the dark

and air is shifted up by heat today.


A smoke ring turns, expands and spirals up;

a day when everything’s complete today.
