The Sound of Dawn; The Sound of Morning

The Sound of Dawn; The Sound of Morning

 

Four in the morning
you hear
the sparrows chirping.

 

At ten in the morning, too,
you can still hear
the sparrows chirping.

 

But

 

At ten in the morning,
the sound of cars,
the sound of horns—some single honks, some sustained blasts,
the sound of brakes—

you cannot help but hear them too.

 

 

صدای سحر؛ صدای صبح

 

ساعت چهار صبح

جیک جیک گنجشکان را می شنوی

 

ساعت ده صبح هم می توانی

جیک جیک گنجشکان را بشنوی

 

اما

 

ده صبح

صدای ماشین ها

صدای بوق تک و ممتد

صدای ترمزها هم ناگزیر می شنوی

 

 

سهیل خداپرستی
