Picture Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

By Freeyad Ibrahim

Looking at the album picture
inside the clothing case
Still we, my sister and I,
are laughing constantly
So pleased to have our mother's hand
That twenty five years ago
rested on our shoulders
smiling proudly
&
No a single tree no two,
All plants and trees
inside the public park
Had produced their own gluey sap:
At the sight of the crying paklava -seller child,
To get his heart glued to life again!
