The Poem

Juni

Under resten av mitt liv 

Kommer jag aldrig att kunna kringgå “juni”
Juni, då mitt hjärta dog
Mina dikter dog
Mina älskade
dog också de i en känslofylld blodpöl

Juni, då den heta solen bränner sönder huden
och visar sårens sanna natur
Juni, då fiskarna lämnar det blodröda havet
och simmar någon annanstans,
där de kan gå i ide Juni, jorden byter form, floderna tystnar
Högarna av brev kan aldrig levereras till de döda

ژوئن

 

همه ي عمر

هرگز ماه ژوئن را پشت سر نخواهم گذاشت

ژوئن، ماهي كه قلبم فسرد

شعرهايم نابود شدند

ودلداده ام در دريايي از عشق و خون جان سپرد

         

           در ژوئن، خورشيد تابان پوستم را شكافت

و سرشت واقعي زخمم را آشكار كرد

در ماه ژوئن، از دريايي به سرخي خون

ماهيان براي خواب زمستاني، به جاي ديگر مي كوچند

در اين ماه زمين دگرگون شده و رودخانه ها در سكوت فرو مي روند

انبوه نامه ها را نمي توان به دست اين فروخفتگان رساند
