UNDER A MIGRANT MOON

“This book of poems is a deep and significant journey towards discovery. It is a universal call which invites us to be mute, but breathe through our real inner landscape for love, life and serenity.”

Mammad Aidani

under a migrant moon

now as a long day is fading
a young child again, I am
trying to get a shadowy glimpse
of a foreign world —
uninhabited.

under a migrant moon
time runs slower,
rocks meditate
dreaming in stone —

a suitcase full of books,
left a learned life ago,
flies by —

thoughts parachute
down in circles onto barren land,
smoothing its pebbles
with their new language.
