A CANDLE BURNING AND STEAMING

A shred of the moon remained tonight

entangled amid patting fingers in my fluffy hair.

Ten soft finger balls,

glittering

like ten solitary suns.

A candle inside

me 

is burning and steaming!

--tr. Arben Latifi

THAT VOICE

That voice shot out

through air petals

and dormant grape vines,

at the break of daylight.

Forsaken sunsets

in the lilac's heart...
