    This one hits hard. Thanks for all the poems Bones.

    I looked up Hafiz and learned this from the other place:

    This poem is misidentified as Hafiz (although it’s very easy to do so). This was written by the poet Daniel Ladinsky, who writes Hafiz-inspired poetry which he intentionally over-characterizes as “versions.” He makes it ambiguous that he is writing poems inspired by Hafiz as opposed to translating Hafiz directly. A great poem in its own right! But it is unfortunate that Daniel has contributed to so much confusion and misunderstanding regarding the actual prolific body of work produced by Hafiz.

      Oh ok, this was from a friend’s blog and I didn’t bother to look it up. I will correct, thank you!
