Titless Poem

My mother 
is a titless poem
My father 
A condom gathering dust by the bedside
And my sister
A lewd man with a few girls 
My poor brothers
Doing military service to get married
And I, an end of line teacup 
Fell on my bum one night
My lip chipped and 
My father threw me 
Out of the house
"Go get lost you waif"
My hands had gone roaming
In childhood 
by themselves 
Like this world
With legs spread 
wide open

شعر بی پستان

شعر بی پستان

مادرم
شعرى ست بی پستان
پدرم 
کاندومی که خاک می خورد پاى تخت
و خواهرم
 مردی هرزه با چند دخترِ طفلی برادرهام
برای زن رفته اند سربازی 
و من كه استکانی ته تغاری ام
شبی
روى ما تحت افتادم
لب ام پرید و دورتر از آن دورهمی
پرت ام كرد پدر
"برو گم شو ضعيفه".
دستهام خودشان 
كه ول شدند
در كودكى
و دنیايى كه لنگ هاش
هنوز باز است.
