Goatsong, Leila Chatti

[ID: GOATSONG / I will survive the wrong / I've done. All the love / that didn't serve me. / My youth used up / worshiping mercurial / myopics. I've cried a lot / very briefly. This sorrow has helped /  make my career. Yes, / I'm a difficult person / to endure, I hardly manage. / Oh hum, the rest of my life / keeps coming. It feels just / like I knew it would.]

Kaveh Akbar, From "Wild Pear Tree"

i don’t know. i’m barely a person. i just want to be kind and hold someone’s hand. eat an ice cream cone. stare at the lake. feel the sun on my skin. lay in the grass. run through a sprinkler. it’s so easy to forget life is supposed to feel like a deep breath and not a gasp

text id: It happens more often than not,
That a person shoots himself in his thoughts.
Shoots the self reflected in clear water, 
in the mirror,
text id: 
Shoots the self reflected in someone else’s eyes,
And dies there and then.
But the second specimen endures –
He himself remains – we ourselves remain.
text id: And burying ourselves without mourning,
We reawaken to life. 
First, as plants and animals,
And after many centuries,
Also, with a human life strenuous and tough.
text id: And all of this lasts
An endless moment perhaps,
Maybe an everlasting week,
Or a momentary year...
text id: My God, you surely must know
How many times I've traversed this road,
Studded with sharp pebbles and thorns,
Again and again,
Barefooted.
text id: I am tired,
so tired of
Killing myself,
And even more, of reliving…
text id: Is there a need
To try the same,
Only this time
By shooting myself
In the eyes of this girl?
text id: 
Close your eyes, my beloved,
I fear with dread
That this time too, I may not perish,
But instead, tear down your eyes.
text id: Close your eyes, my beloved.

"Close your eyes", Paruyr Sevak (translated by metamorphesque)
