Two Poems by Zahrad

M e t e o r

Not enough rocks around
To stone the whole bunch of us
Each one of us one by one –
We gather around on the same rock
All of us in one place and we wait
For that one gargantuan meteor
– That never comes

……………………. Zahrad
Translated by Tatul Sonentz

***

Celestial Snicker

There’s a naughty star
Anchored up in heaven –
Over three million years now
It’s been looking at earth
And laughing its head off

……………………. Zahrad
