Nazand Begikhani Poems

The security officer
got up early
put on his white shirt
had honey toast with nuts
...

My body is quiet as a fall of snow
my spirit, a stream

I remember those who passed by here once
crossed the line of light in the sky
...

I'd like to follow in the footsteps of my dreams
to frame my present from my dreams
to plant my words
in their soil
...

A psychologist said
Graveyards may help you feel happier,
visit a graveyard when you are depressed
...

I walked in the land of souls
And in the distance
I saw myself
a watery sky
...

Your picture in the greenness of the tobacco leaves
reflecting the light of the Orient
you bend among the endless lines
of the staring tobacco plants
...

In a desert
At the foot of the cloud-hills
under the shadow of the wind
a woman stood up
a slender being
...

Christmas day
I arrived at my mother's house
with my four year old son
that was their first encounter
...
