Website title: Square Moon Diary of Emil Keliane

They were outdoors in some sort of fake
spiritual state, the hypocrite
and his friend, the mayor.

It was midnight, and raining.
A wolf appeared on the edge of the hill.
The mayor let fly an arrow that felled the wolf,
who moaned and farted
and died.

The hypocrite yelled, "You've killed my donkey.
I know my donkey's farts as well as I know
water from wine."
"Not so. I shot a wolf.
Go and see. It's too dark to tell anything
from here."
"Among twenty farts from twenty animals,
I would know the wind from my young donkey.
Some things I know perfectly."
"You imposter! In the rain, at midnight, at fifty yards,
you can distinguish one fart from another!
You didn't even recognize me today,
and we've known each other for ten years!

You're just pretending with this God-drunkenness too,
so you'll be excused for other forgetfulnesses,
as a child is, or someone who's truly dissolved
in that Joy. You're not. You're too proud
of your 'dervishhood,' and your cries
of 'selfless surrender.'
'O, both worlds are here!
I can't tell which is which! My donkey's farts
prove the sensitivity of my state!'"
This is the way
hypocrisy gets exposed. Anyone who claims,
"I am the Keeper of the Doorway," will be tested
by the Adepts, as when some guy claims to be a tailor
and the King throws down a piece of satin,
"Make a vest."
The Wine God loves
human honesty.
That hypocrite had been drinking
buttermilk. He was saying, "Leave me alone
in my bewilderment. I don't know a hatchet
from a key. I am Junaid. I am Bestami!"
Spiritual sloth and spiritual greed
will not stay hidden.

If you pretend to be Hallaj
and with that fake-burning
set fire to your friends,
don't think that you're a Lover.

You're crazy and numb.
You're drinking our blood,
and you have no experience
of the Nearness.
