A Natural Passenger | Poetry

Homa Zarghamee

as natural as a pigeon in asphalt and the dove that mourns above it so natural that when the wing breaks and the body buckles or the car bends around the tree like a knotweed or the conductor is momentarily blinded so that the train derails and turns on its side like a restless sleeper I will return to my seat
