Poor silly boys they don’t know

on the third floor of my dorm

I can hear the bells of vespers call

the priests from their study halls

and like Ibn Rushd the Cordoban

we hear the Maghrib sunset song

the muezzin holds the tone so long

long after the September sun has gone

(From the poem, “Saint Cynthia” in Leftovers)
