Parisab

My son of 2000, My son of now

I pick tangerines at dawn

My hands almost touch the sun

My crimson lips are burning

Good morning love, 

Good morning

Honey suckles open wide

I have no fear, he has your eyes

Divine,

A delicious yearning

Good morning love,

Good morning.

***

Now I can’t reach that Citrus sun

Every word of his

I’ve worn

Like a sweater,

inside out.

I’ve been still 

so that he flies to me

I’ll reach high

to reach him

Now he’s still my sun

And my falcon.

He may gaze upon me,

the higher he can fly

from home.
