A Sip Against Forgetting

A Sip Against Forgetting

 

Hatred,
a barren desert;
and love,
a sip of water in that desert
that
either saves,
or awakens
a slumbering thirst,
ancient and aching.

 

 

 

جرعه‌ای علیه فراموشی

 

،تنفر
بیابانی برهوت؛

،و عشق
جرعه‌ای آب در آن بیابان
که
،یا نجات‌بخش است
یا بیدار می‌کند
،تشنگیِ خفته‌ای
.دیرین و دردناک
