I have a morsel of bread,
A flicker of wisdom,
A needle’s tip of longing.
I know well—
My canvas holds no life.
The water that quenched my thirst
Flowed without philosophy.
I plucked mulberries in ignorance,
And when a pomegranate split apart,
Desire burst from my hands like a fountain.
At times, loneliness pressed its face
Against my windowpane,
Its breath fogging the glass.
My translation of a few lines from Sohrab Sepehri's long poem "Sound of Water's Footsteps."
