For Avani who lead me back to DR

To push a pal to pick up the pen
Is to help him return to a place again
A place where the shells of our feelings
Were cracked and scrambled over toasts
After a dose 
Of Elliott or Ismat, Donne or Saadat
Drunken nights and shameless tears
A lifetime of comfort from our reckless years
