The smoke of this sorrowful grove is long
like the stature of my map.
Our ridges and mountains,
their rivers of tears are long,
longer than the Tigris & the Euphrates.
The sobbing of the plant’s leave is long
streatching as far as the eye of my open wound can see.

The cries of this body's streets & alleys are long,
long as the path to god.
The pain of my alphabet is long,
it begins from here all the way to Khani*.
My alienation is long, long, long
longer than the railways of Europe

I do not know what
I do not know
