POEM

You are a woman

If my fingers intertwined among her hair strands

My hand would emerge as if it were a magic wand

To the extent that if I brushed against a dry branch

It would bloom

If I patted the back of a mare, it would fly without growing wings

A woman like the wind … You are

skilled in chase

You can make me gasp without moving from my place

How could a woman like you do all this to me in silence?

You make me expectant, standing ready on the tips of my toes

Waiting for that word stands on the edge of your lips…

If you said ‘I love you,’

My heart would scatter like a drop of water

Falling into a pot of boiling oil.
