How Inevitable.(A poetic re-creation of “چه ناگزیر”)

How inevitable—

in the haze of your eyes

I glimpse

the crystal truth of my dreams

How tender

from the sultry breath you breathe

I rise,

a flight upon

the trembling wings of wakefulness

And how rare,

that in a single moment you sang your song

and I—

draped in the mourning of fate—

chose

a tireless rebellion

Perhaps a miracle is near,

to untangle the mystery

of a wandering dandelion

Or the wild blooming of emotion

that steals away

the sober gaze of reason

Surely,

what remains in memory

is always the one

unexpected moment—

when a cluster of longing

is pinned

to a sorrowful sky

so that,

after years of waiting,

hope

might suddenly rise

and speak

of dawn’s first cry

and the scent of bitter orange blossom

and in the chill of silence

reach—

fearless and humble—

for the warmth of your hands
