From The Lover (2007), collected poems by Baharak Sedigh.
something about life seduces my bones
twisting my hair in its grip
rooting me to the moment
something in the elusive nature
digs every finger of time into my heart
how my insignificant body contains such vastness
i ask
this sugared taste
waiting at the end of each minute’s twist
forever changed days that eventually
all
pass too quickly
what tomorrow brings a mystery
lounging in the curve of my lips
at the tip of each and every sunset
and every time a raindrop hits the sea
