"Hello!" (ghazal)
You who discern all things & say Hello!
what word could pauperize kings like your Hello?
You for whom the stars are charming toys
what cosmonaut out-springs in your Hello?
Because of you courageous deeds are dared
the ending of all things is your Hello!
In general I struggle night & day
yet specificitings has your Hello!
The pinball wizard learns the art in blindfold
who hears the dongs & dings of your Hello?
Beneath the sea a pearl (they say) abides
no foot to shore-life clings in your Hello!
You read us letters from a distant friend
puissant are the wings of your Hello!
The bee is so befraught with honey's labor
the meddler feels the stings of her Hello!
Autumnal clouds a'drift through languorous skies
are searching for the springs of your Hello!
I peer into the glass of such a pir
each glint of me she brings exclaims Hello!
I'll carol your fond name from land to land
my wayward language clings to your Hello!
Ardeo! in the path of long goodbyes
what word (while short) so sings like her Hello!
notes:
specificitings : neologism pron. like "specificity" w/ "-tings" [gerund = "bringing into a state of specificity"]
pinball wizard : may suggest Pete Townsend's eponymous song
pir (Urdu) : literally old, and oftentimes signifying saint
