»Dear Death«
by Jamil Artin
Dear Death
Today let us put love
on the love that died
Let us forgive the rose of longing
for its thorns which injured
let us roam the land of our insisters
sink in the earth
to touch the seed of the rose
whose leaves like mine
die outside its garden
Dear Death
Today life lives by our sorrow
our dead tears are its fuel
our beloved people leaving us as well
Dear Death
Today Let us roam the land of my kingdom
Let us go deep inside my sorrow
to touch the seed of the rose
whose leaves like mine
die outside its garden
Dear Death
Today let us glorify sorrow
dress it our tears
and kiss the forehead of the criminal
will such kisses make us alive?
Dear Death
Today let me stab myself
sink in my body
touch the beats of my heart
whose beats like mine
dies in another body
Today let us put love
on the love that died
Let us forgive the rose of longing
for its thorns which injured
let us roam the land of our insisters
sink in the earth
to touch the seed of the rose
whose leaves like mine
die outside its garden
Dear Death
Today life lives by our sorrow
our dead tears are its fuel
our beloved people leaving us as well
Dear Death
Today Let us roam the land of my kingdom
Let us go deep inside my sorrow
to touch the seed of the rose
whose leaves like mine
die outside its garden
Dear Death
Today let us glorify sorrow
dress it our tears
and kiss the forehead of the criminal
will such kisses make us alive?
Dear Death
Today let me stab myself
sink in my body
touch the beats of my heart
whose beats like mine
dies in another body
