Frame

It's me
With a stubborn worm in the eye
This is my family
My mum
Her dough risen
Her tea brewed
With my brother under her arm
Smiling at the dirty washing 
Hello sister
How you laugh like an amateur 
Sister? 
Stop it 
I'm talking to you 
Stop Dad laughing 
Tell him to get short tempered 
before his pills like before
Tell him I broke the radio 
Tell him to swear 
And shout 
Throw me out of the house 
Sister?! Dear sis tell him not to laugh
This is me 
This the wall 
God
Mohammad 
Moses
Someone please come 
Take this frame 
Off my head

قاب

قاب

این منم
با کرمی سمج در چشم 
این هم خانواده من است
مادرم که خمیرش وَر آمده 
چایش دم
 با برادرم در بغل 
به رخت چرک ها لبخند می‌زند
سلام خواهر 
چه ناشیانه مى‌خندى 
خواهر؟
بس کن 
با تو‌ام 
جلوی خنده‌ى بابا را بگیر
بگو مثلِ قبل
قبلِ قرص‌هايش عصبی شود 
بگو كه رادیو را من شکسته‌ام
بگو که فحش دهد 
داد بزند 
از خانه بیرونم کند
خواهر!؟ خواهر جان! بگو نخندد
این منم
این دیوار
خدا
محمد 
موسی
یکی بیاید این قاب را
بیرون كند از سرم
Close
