Francis of Assisi
Saladin will allow this man only
of all Christians to stay in the Holy Land
now the crusades are over, this lonely
man who walks bare-foot over baking sand
towards Jerusalem expecting to
be martyred, but because he comes
without a sword he’ll be taken into
Robin
the gentle heart of Islam, his sums
recalculate, caught up by his own grace,
as if robins, sparrows and finches
followed him in whirs of wings to outface
all danger; for friendship never flinches
or forgets through elapse of years; a host
of feathered heaven like a Holy Ghost.
