Sima Farshid Poems

In this big ball
where people all
wear tinted masks,
I'm out of place
...

All her life on a marsh,
a water lily
dreamed of the sea.
...

The bird thirty flew out,
and I stood still,
staring at its flight.
...

From the moment you go to say Dad,
a couple of hulks stand against you.
How they've popped up,
you'll never know.
...

The cocoon I'd weaved,
turned to fetters
instead of silk,
and I went on spinning
...

همه عمر
نیلوفر مرداب
خواب دریا دید
...

در مجلسی با نقاب های ده رنگ
صورت بی نقابم چه نا به جاست
...

پرنده ی سی پر کشید
و من مبهوت ماندم
خیره به پروازش
...

پیله ای که تنیدم
نه ابریشم
که بندی شد بر پا
و من بی خیال پروانه شدن
...

There were many stars
in our childhood sky,
but as we got adult,
the stars went to die
...
