Selected Short Poems

Translated from Persian

Exile

1

Exile is

Out of the world’s geography!

2

Here,

Every moment!

                        Suddenly

I am thrown

From one blue cell of an enquiring look

To another.

23.1. 1987

Spring in Exile

Today,

The sun has been astonished

By a green applause

And boughs of the streets

Grew suddenly green

From the leaves of human beings.

I should have a 

                        Look

At my calendar!
