SUSHIANT
Emancipation was the last bate of bitterness
which we had named in our stupendous hopes
In the triangle of existence
thought and hope were mad children
who beat the air with their heads
who dived into time with their fists
and their only big game
was to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to their wrist watches!

Sushiant is the name of the Messiah in Zoroastrian creed as well as the name of the poet’s son.
سوشيانت
سوشيانت
رهايي آخرين طعمه ي تلخي بود
که در اميدهاي ابلهانه مان نامگذاري کرده بوديم
در مثلث ِ وجود
انديشه و اميد کودکان ِ ديوانه اي بودند
که با سر به هوا ضربه مي زدند
با مشت بر زمان فرو مي افتادند
و تنها بازي بزرگ شان
تنفس مصنوعي به ساعت هاي مچي شان بود!
