I Don't

Sun set,
farewell to you sad day.
I'm going into the night
to inhale this precarious thing-
a fragile life.

In the depth of things I crush and the eternal
pain tells me that 'there is only hope for
happiness.

' Till down I wait and let time
washing me away,
far into the absence of light I gaze
and then into the
emptiness of things I go.

(1989) M. Aidani
