translated by Erfan Mojib and Gary Gach The foot
that brought me to You
now
in a bread line
plays with a pebble * Missing someone
is a mother
who leaves the front door ajar * I want to open a door
onto a sea & a night
I want to open a door
onto you
who are the sea & the night * As the seasons change
the plums
are replaced by persimmons
longing
by
longing * He told Adam
“Your fall is temporary
You’ll come back to me”
but Adam built a house
and called it home * I’d wanted to be the wind
in my beloved’s hair
but am only a breeze
amidst gnarly shrubs * Between me and you
I am a wall
Take me down |
