Yana Djin Poems

Eternity
is no bliss.
It is a nightmare
where alone,
...

A bomb exploded in the cattle market
killing 10 men.
Their limbs strewn randomly
on the bloody pavement
...

The Empire crumbled.
And the rich man became
a beast who eats grass.
No sound or flesh
...

The woman sucking on a stone
imagined that it was a Persian nougat ball.
And she sucked on it with
the oblivion of a child left alone.
...

Words barely
brush the surface.
Deeds get to the core.
Be silent.
...

Words. They don't impress me.
They are empty,
though not necessarily light.
You didn't use words.
...

I sobered up, i faced my misery.
Leonard Cohen
...

One said: I waited for God.
Filling myself with
repentence, hurt.
The other replied:
...

When the sun set
And the seagulls flew,
I was thinking of you.
When the sun rose -
...

One said to Jesus:
'I admire you, rabbi.'
Jesus replied:
Fool. You are shallow.
