Persian Westender

I am a poem

Following my death,

would you please burry me

in "Parishan lake"*?

so that, my ash will be translated

to several dead languages

spontaneously.....

I am a poem

And anguish
is my heritance

but I'm not going to bequeath it

to my successors

Since beforehand,

I've shared it

with my 'rhythmlessness', 'rhymelessness', and
'titlelessness'....

I am a poem

And in a rainy day

when you're walking down a quiet walkway

you will vaguely  remember me

By then,
your memory is entitled

to do whatever it wants

to my
meaning.....

Footnote:

*"Parishan"
is name of a lake in southern Iran which means "distressed" or
"distraught" in Persian. There have been some reports that this lake
was dried and in early winter of this year (in a rare and unusual natural
process) its soil was burning and smoking. The reports are in Persian language.
