Limits
Perhaps I will never be able to move the mountain out of the way.
Perhaps I will never be able, across all the deserts of the earth,
to make a garden of red roses
grow green.
Perhaps there was never as much power in me
as I thought.
But
without a doubt
I was not a piece of wood, I am not.
I will not be a piece of wood until the moment of death.
A docile piece of wood!
ridiculously docile to every force
outside of me ...
Machine translation from the Persian
Original Persian
حدود
Verdant
شاید هرگزنتوانم کوه را از سر راه بردارم .
شاید هرگز نتوانم در تمام بیابان زمین
باغ گل سرخ
سبز کنم .
شاید هرگز آن قدر ها که گمان می کردم
قدرت نبوده درمن .
اما
بی تردید
چوب نبودم ، نیستم .
چوب نخواهم بود تا لحظه ی مرگ .
چوبی تابع !
تابع مضحک هر نیرویی
بیرون از من ...
