Simplify all to the zero-point
Rinse my eyes in the electric swarm
Before there was A
there was harmonic vibration
Long after Z
there will be new sounds
Amplify all to the higher pitch
Flood my sight with colors beyond
Before there was light
there were waves in motion
After the dusk
there is still time to dance
I made a YouTube video recently so as to read a selection of work from the Persian Sugar in English Tea anthology published by Soodabeh Saeidnia. I was happy to have three poems translated into Farsi and included in the volume.
The video features poems written by Aimal Zaman, Daginne Aignend, Melinda Owen, Sheikha A., and myself. Please check it out here:
