Synopsis:

Dear friend
You don't leave much for the undertaker
So fully you've inhabited there
I've never minded your not being here
you being a favorite hallucination
but I wonder how you speak of us

....so begins one of the poems in Brash Ice, which, unlike its predecessors, Far From Algiers and Brushstrokes and Glances, looks back on a dervish's trek through the world of illusions and tells us what beguiled and enlightened him.
