Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE SKIFF, by AL-MUNSAFI
First Line: Its legs unlooping
Last Line: Lashes of the eye.
First Line: Its legs unlooping
Last Line: Lashes of the eye.
Its legs unlooping
I watched a swimmer glide,
A falcon swooping
By eagles terrified:
An eyeball squinting
Acutely at the sky,
Its oars the glinting
Lashes of the eye.
