FOR MY HOOMAN

It’s the bombing of beauty
Knife
Blue eyes 
And a balloon as small as the 21st century

It’s the bombing of beauty
I
and I
and I
and people’s shadows

It’s the bombing of beauty
Robin Hood and Jesus don’t have time to pay the pocket of an animal that is dying, a visit 

It’s the bombing of beauty
It’s this hatch that's the most whorelike giver of hope
The most whorelike purveyor of hope
who keeps dispensing kisses
keeps opening up
growing worms 

براي هومنم

براي هومنم


بمباران زيبايي ست
                      چاقو          
                      چشم آبي
                      و بادکنکي به کوچکي قرن بيست و يکم

بمباران زيبايي ست
                      من
                     و من
                     و من
                     و سايه ي  آدم ها

بمباران زيبايي ست
   داش آکل و مسيح وقت ندارند به جيب جانوري که جان مي کند
                                                                                  سري بزنند
بمباران زيبايي ست
                   اين دريچه است       که روسپي ترين اميد دهنده است  
                                             روسپي ترين آرزو دهنده اي
                                             که ماچ مي دهد مدام
                                             باز مي شود مدام
                                             کرم مي زند
