I don’t like the words
“good bye”
Tell the pigeons
the story
of my gradual death.
Let everything
in my home
be worm-eaten.
I have wished
always
to be a stone
in a mountain,
a tree
in a jungle,
a pigeon
among clouds,
a book
flying over the dreams…
I don’t like the word
“hello”
hidden
in your heart.
Reza Shirmarz (born 1974) Iran (moved to Greece 2010)
