Or, in Kaveh Akbar's words:
I breathe in
Sunsets to
Breathe out prayers.
Like the old split-trunk willow oak
At the cemetery corner,
A pair of lungs in the winter dusk
Drinking deeply from the good earth
To exhale the life of the world.
Sunsets to
Breathe out prayers.
Like the old split-trunk willow oak
At the cemetery corner,
A pair of lungs in the winter dusk
Drinking deeply from the good earth
To exhale the life of the world.
