Allusion

Sometimes
the window too
can
play the role of a curtain
behind these colours
are hidden
other colours
Behind the ear of this quiet
you don’t know how music
has set off beautiful fireworks

I pull the apple aside
to show you the apple

Mehrdad Fallah

(Iran (Islamic Republic of), 1960)

Mehrdad Fallah comes from Northern Iran. He was born in 1960 in Fashoo Poshteh – “a small village . . . five fingers away from the Caspian”, as he writes in his autobiographical poem ‘Let’s get some fresh air’ – somewhere between Langerood and Lahijan in the province of Gilan. He discovered his love of reading and writing poetry in his teens at high school.
