The cow that once jumped over the moon,
And returned to earth to meet the spoon,
Since he was so able,
He thinks it possible,
To now jump over the sun at noon.
fun limerick for children
از وقتی فهمیدم قلب و ریه های حیآة مشکل مادرزادی دارن و زیاد عمر نمیکنه؛
فکر خودکشی مثل یک نجوا برام تکرار میشه بیشتر از قبل و مرتباً خواب می بینم...
سه شنبه خواب دیدم رو به روی یه پنجره ام، هوا مثل اینکه بهار یا تابستون بود. رو به روم پر بود از درختچه های زغال اخته، دستم به شاخه ها می رسید. زغال اخته ها خیلی قرمز دیده مي شد و روشون برف نشسته بود با اینکه خورشید، روشن بود..‌.
یادم نمونده زیاد از خواب
و نمی دونم چرا شما رو دیدم
که روی صندلی ناهارخوری ما نشسته بودید آقای عمادی....
مانند اولین باران در زمینی بایر
مانند نوزادی که برای اولین بار
دستِ مادرش را لمس می کند
مانند  آیه ای که
به طور اتفاقی شنیدم و آرامم کرد
مانند نوشیدن آب
در یک بعد از ظهرِ گرم و طاقت فرسا،
احساس لمس دست های حیآة بود ... 🌱🌸

Sometimes Mother Nature and Father Sky
Sometimes muses come from unexpected places
The bullied lonely little girl became a published poet
She continues and cheers on children like herself that are loners
Highly sensitive and creative
Never fit the mold
Maybe it was broken
Not sure about the next step other than when I take it
I won’t leap

Prescience
of dawn:

a sunny place
for shady people.

Long shadows
on the lawn
of a thin pixelated
crowd,
in parade
of blood red
sorrows.

But your curtains
are always
drawn.

You hide
behind
smooth and sterile
surfaces.

Finish your
collapse
and stay for
breakfast.

Buildings aren't
haunted,
people are.

Feel the change of the
Seasons.  The light in
streaks on your arm's
red hair.

The wind, on a good
day, God's embrace.

Feel the change of the
Seasons amber tossed
curls.  The whitening
pelt, earth's embrace.

The nearby squirel uneasily
counts her chestnuts.  She
reminds the tree of
riddles.  What? Nonsense.

The tree offers only comfort,
a remainder of the turn of
the shadow's dance into
rest.

Walk thru the Pillars of your
imagination, feel only the
seasons past and to come.

Feel the change
sweeping the
cooling light under into
that drains winter whispers
to…

Stop the moment from
beginning its turn to and

away from the primordial
Image of

you in Summer's arms,
mine,

still willing.
