| An Inn Along the Road,
Translated to English by Minou Alian |
It's
blue
It's blue
her look is blue
It's like they've poured the sky
in his eyes
When she takes my hands in hers
I fell the blood circulate
on her fingertips
her pulse so rapid
like a hare's heart transplanted into her breast
Temptation to love
reminds me of the goldfish, fallen calmly asleep
in the waters of the crystal bowl
The goldfish that one day becomes lighter than water
and a hand that throws the red goldfish
-which is now neither fish nor red-
through the window
to the garden
so the gray seagulls
rain on the leaves of the aspen
and the apricot
My heart
just as the coffee houses on the way
is a reminder of nostalgia
No passenger will be let in for good
No passenger will be let in for good. |
