Question

what is the respond to "RAMADAN' by Kazim Ali's poem

You wanted to be so hungry, you would break into branches,

and have to choose between the starving month’s

nineteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-third evenings.

The liturgy begins to echo itself and why does it matter?

If the ground-water is too scarce one can stretch nets

into the air and harvest the fog.

Hunger opens you to illiteracy,

thirst makes clear the starving pattern,

the thick night is so quiet, the spinning spider pauses,

the angel stops whispering for a moment—

The secret night could already be over,

you will have to listen very carefully—

You are never going to know which night’s mouth is sacredly reciting

and which night’s recitation is secretly mere wind—

Explanation / Answer

The poet Kazim Ali in the poem " Ramadan" speaks about the one month fasting that is kept by Muslims. He describes the hunger and thirst of the body that is felt during the fasting period. The physical hunger and thirst leads one to understand the ignorance and emptiness of oneself that requires a spiritual fulfillment. It helps to understand the personal relationship with the creator. It also leads to the understanding of world around oneself. It leads to listening of those things that were not focused during the normal days. Each individual who keeps the fasting knows their own personal relationship with their God.
