Confabulation Poem by Baharak Barzin

Confabulation

Rating: 5.0


Moon! Moon! Do you hear me?
If you do
Think of me and answer me why my tears fall every night
so patient you are mighty moon!
Do you know why we are wrong?
I heard that you can pray
So near to God you are mysterious moon
Hurts and joys hurt us, please pray for us
You are our guiding light in depth of nights
Give us your purity
as we are about to lose the purity
