Analysis of Mystical in Spirit

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Rumi's poems cause them to twirl
Into meditating physically
Dervish dancers chant and whirl
Sufi's express their devotion amazingly

They do it wearing a Fez on
Mesmerizingly
Inspired the band of Steely Dan
To introduce them in a song, imaginatively
