A poem by: Nawras Muhammad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translated from Kurdish: Abdulkhaliq Yaqubi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were water in each other’s body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they looked after us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our love was naked, wet, and clear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in the memory of this city, we stay as a spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In poetry it was only you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was writing my tree,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was writing my river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To talk about holes and atoms,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To melt in the scapular bones of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wrote poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to write rain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You became dewy on my skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those days, when we ate from each other’s language,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eyes of tradition and custom were like bullets,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we chose flowers and dance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
