translation: MAMON ZAIDY
I am immortal in someone’s story
I don’t crash, I don’t get defeated, and I don’t
break
But I get distracted all the time
I wasted my years jumping between the banks
In the making of legends
mute fantasies,
I rode up a mountain
She dived into the sea of a story he could not
read
Only children and lunatics and blue butterflies
flying between you and me.
I hide a rose in my hair
was hidden in a colored cloth
Finally hide from me!
The whole story is an escape in an escape.
I feel hungry, so I open a book
I digest music at the speed of light
I fast from talking for a while
Enough to love or kill!
The night differs with the day
My look and your mirage
Even your strange voice
in this world
Nothing is running smoothly
It must be sad
I grew up
Like everything gets old
And like others
My features change
But my heart is still the same
White and full of windows
I am now without dreams or a torn net of
hopes with which to catch illusion
Crazy as God created me
And comfortable without questions and
without waiting
Soon the word will die inside me
And the sound of poetry fades
It would be difficult to find a different expres-
sion
That’s why I write and erase until dawn comes
Birds sing in the school anthem.
I disappear for days, months and years
And when I go out
Grass has grown on my back
I come from the rainy ages
I carry the moan of extinct forests.
I will not say who I am
It is enough to stare at the words
And eavesdrop on the wind
I’m that roar.
When winter comes again
And lightning slaps the face of the world
Raindrops the size of lemons will fall from the
clouds
I will go out to meet the wind
I know their sad names
Crazy recipes
I lay on the ground the ashes of my heart
To disgrace it without mercy
To remember each time that I died a thousand
years ago
What remains of me is this words that I write.
I may smell you close to me
I might get lost in your pale shadow
Because I come back to life for these simple
ideas.
This strange midnight tranquility
This room and the monotonous ticking of the
clock how it repeats itself every time
I breathe the smell of silence and dirt
The smell of days gone by
Names whose features have been forgotten
This world is strange to the limit of the impos-
sible
We spin non-stop looking for truth, love and
freedom
But in the end we write about the bitter fall into
delusion
Everything changed.
When my mom died
The taste of life has become bitter
My face withered
And my song became dumb
Life tells me
O daughter of the word
Don’t let your braid fall into a void
Don’t let the night steal your wanderlust
You are the shining star
You are the voice that will remain after everyo-
ne else is gone.
