about

To Abbas Kiarostami
For his vision, patience, and his wide views of narrow roads.

lyrics

"Swamp of my room became dull.
and I could hear the whisper of blood in my veins.
My life was being spent in a deep dark.
This darkness, filled the design of my existence.
the door opened
and he blew in with the wind, lantern in his hand.
beauty was free
and i was waiting for them to arrive;
it was the shapeless dream of my life.
a smell whispered in my eyes.
My veins stopped beating
all the strings that showed me to me
were burning in the fire of his lantern.
Time was not moving within me.
I was a naked excitement.
lantern hanging on the space
he was searching me in the light
weaving the threads of my room
and didn't find way to me.
a breeze drank the flame of the lantern.
a breeze was dancing by
and I was shaping in a design.
In the depth of darkness of my room i could be found.
found, for whom?
They are not here anymore.
did they blend into the ghost of the room?
a smell moved warm between my veins
I felt as if they are searching me with their lost existance
and how often I waste time searching my own place:
somebody got lost here."

- Sohrab Sepehri
from the Book "Zendegi e Khab ha" (life of sleeps)
1332 Iranian years. (1953)
