Ghazal

---

Since the flowerpot on the shelf cracked,

you never came back even once

with the clouds or the roses’ breeze.

You don’t appear in my dreams anymore

with an excuse whatever

& this house is empty without your image.

I’ve seen only your signs in my dreams:

the flowerpot on the shelf that cracked,

even though in my dream ––

You never came back even once.

Isn’t this house yours?

Don’t get upset with me,

O cloud, o roses’ breeze!

Please

accept

my apologies.
