Time--Mana Aghaee
What can I do about my short-handedness?
I have accepted that the night is longer than my patience,
and the moon is farther than your imagination;
I have accepted that thought can continue
outside the body,
drifting into a thousand places;
I have accepted that the earth is round,
that we have accidentally reached each other tonight;
I have accepted that occasionally the impossible can be envisioned,
for instance, the fact that the clock has accepted to turn backwards,
like the time before the birth of Christ,
gives me the possibility to find
my future lover’s lips in your eyes,
the fact that the mirror does not agree to double your beauty,
the fact that I seem smaller than myself at this end of the table
is not the flaw of gravity;
I have accepted that every circle is restrictive,
and at its best
a diameter can only divide the parameter
into two equal halves.
