Listening to Sufi oud and flute,
Thinking mellow Sufi thoughts as I code html.
The bones inside the book.
Thinking mellow Sufi thoughts as I code html.
The bones inside the book.
Suddenly, a sharp jab!
I stop, afraid to look too closely at the wound.
Is it bleeding?
I stop, afraid to look too closely at the wound.
Is it bleeding?
No.
Only the barbed end of a semi-colon
Slicing into an innocent tag.
Only the barbed end of a semi-colon
Slicing into an innocent tag.
I pull it out, round off the sharp spike.
There! A colon.
Harmless without its sting.
