Ever New
They had come
to stay
our little wheat grains.
What remained of them
were the footprints, side by side, on the soil
with the rhythm of sweet dances
in the memory of the lonely stones;
what remained of them
were the warm dances of flame with flame
— naked in each other’s arms —
in the dark memory of night;
what remained
was the smell of fresh hot bread
and
the wheat field to come...

نو به نو
Wheat Field
آمده بودند
بمانند
گندم های کوچک ما .
باقی ماند از آنها
جای قدم های همراه هم روی خاک
با آهنگ رقص های شیرین
در حافظه ی سنگ های تنها ؛
باقی ماند از آنها
رقص های گرم شعله با شعله
ـ عریان در آغوش هم ـ
در حافظه ی تاریک شب ؛
باقی ماند
بوی نان تازه ی داغ
و
گندمزار آینده ...
