Its night , night and there is no star
Stars are off ,are mute, sad like my Setar
their throats pressed in the hands of four walls, surrounding them with sword
and so, it is night, fictitious as a sigh, trying to remember that important unknown word.
,
The sky is dark and there are no stars, with all that greatness and immensity
when the angles of God burned the stars for unknown reasons with such crulty
what could be left of a star other than burned wishes
under broken glass and when thrown on the soil like freshly caught fishes
maybe a groundless brief imagination
coming to life from grandfather's stories, even less, the hero's imitation
growing atop of our heads like the Naranj tree, it's fruits sour and bitter
so that every morning , dirty thin sparrows, feed it's bitter seeds to their youngster
Its night , night and there is no star
and from the dead robin in the middle of the road to me, myself,.... not too far
the distance is a fine line of madness
and that now it can be, when I'm drowning in sadness.
Right now , tonight that the night is as dark as it could be
but there is no star in the arms of the Naranj tree
And my love , deep in his sweet dreams , will hear my shallow groaning mixed with his joy in his dream
and won't be able to tell if it's of pain or pleasure if I scream.
maybe there should be somewhere
-maybe here, to stop and stare
like a bird under the water
staring at swallows high in the sky- yes, it seems to be only fair
and maybe that somewhere
.should be here ,right there
Dead branches with black leaves look at me from their vase
and him, love of my life breathing in his most rhythmic pace ,
even in the dark with his eyes closed watches
and I remember the pain in his eyes when darkened,all his apple branches
and I cross out what I was writing, quickly , rapidly
the glass table under my notebook shakes, my selfishness appears to be silly
so shakes the glass of water beside his bed
.he knows,.... he knows I think and I leave the rest unsaid
he moves restlessly in sleep, side to side
. and I write , and I write that it's dark, that it's been night all day tonight
The darkest night without a single star
, but I lit a "never touched before" Cigar
I will press my sweaty face on his lips
caressing his dreams with my fingertips
and I will sing the story of the sun ,
in some language that is to both of us unknown
like a lullaby it shall put him to sleep
dream on my love I've grown my roots too deep.
