WORDS FROM THE PERSIAN:
1. When things get unbearable
I repeat Leonard’s line
over and over like a mantra:
Words from the Persian:
limes, sherbet,
pajamas,
paradise.
Imagining a dark world without
them.
2. Later, I told him how his
lines
bring me small comfort.
He said, It’s wonderful,
but I never wrote it.
