In a shadow of a mapleA Poem by Saman ShahrakiIn a shadow of a maple Feet to the east Eyes to the sky Jungle hated him He was sleeping and some hands From the leafs were touching him They were playing Behind his face He had a monster
In a shadow of a maple
Feet to the east Eyes to the sky Jungle hated him He was sleeping and some hands From the leafs were touching him They were playing Behind his face He had a monster The maple was praying Then its hands dropped When the monkeys were singing At the heart of night The maple smelled like a dead body Here is the last east Here is nearest earth To the sky... When jungle is sick Fog brings it dark grey With smell of a dead body Today that man without shoulders In a shadow of a maple Is burried;Now everything he has got Is to the west... © 2015 Saman Shahraki |
