lyrics

given
all i can think of
is your don't worry
these himalayan slopes they won’t know me
nor that very lake of liepnitzsee where once
absolved by this or that river
surrendered to that
my distant relatives await at the schonbrunn
i advise you to, to wait
eventually you too will have no blood
or make your own
i am in no hurry when this
wind carries itself
-
wherein, my grandmother is still alive
wherein, these cherry trees, the cat, the dog
grandfather takes the photograph-
this is, i guess, the most natural eternity
as if heaven were too crude
this france is even mild, but for this winter breeze
my aunt waving to someone, perhaps us, in the distance
given, many ubiquitous aunts
convince me i am living
in the dream of the world
this fabric (of the real) is surely uneven

you made the whole bloody
when i thought it made of light and words and sound
no flesh involved, nothing tires
like matter- "to be made of"
your sorry only incriminates you further
send your apologies somewhere better
to some sky or landscape as even i do
this time i cannot answer you-
though i wish i could settle your unease-
simply send your ships over the edge of the earth..

did yerevan treat you well?
after your decade of adulthood, you still had the faraway in you
while my dearest love had no memory
not of ancestral loss, not of blood even,
no, he grew white in the corridors of the city lodged along potomac,
still i think there is some song that he is made of.
my dear friend writes from tehran
lost in the white fog of the snow, thick with glorious
horrors you find green frames, illusory war.
an invitation to come
and i promise i will.
