Sepehri Page 2


her body was extinguished.
A sorrowful lullaby breezed over me.
The seep of her dark glance mixed with the
     humming of green grasses.
And suddenly -
from the fire of her lips a smile sparked.
Deep in her eyes, the mountainous night collapsed.
And I,
in the rapture of watching, was the forgotten
     voice.
