Khashayar Khasteh
Translated by Sina Gilani
Laundry am not I, for you to hang me
A tree am not I, for you to hang of me
Lumbers are
Plenty and many
There for the burning
And I need but a Lumberjack with his ax sharpened
Naked and ready I am
Naked with the shirt of a Lumberjack
The shirt not on body;
The shirt hangs of the waist more beautifully
That was the sound of the ax, My ax
Timber!
Cut!
Your turn!
