Snow, Bijan Elahi

Snow, By Bijan Elahi
Trans. Mehdi Ganjavi
-
She could only
Be embraced
Once.
She knew, then,
She would fall like an avalanche.
Yet she wanted
To find shelter in my embrace!
-
Her name was snow
Her body, snowy
Her heart of snow
And her pulse
Sound of dripping snow
On the thatched roofs.
-
And I loved her
Just like a branch
Broken under the avalanche.
