Mehrdad Fallah

With these electric torches

There is nothing new
in the hand that ties this light bulb
to the peak of the mountain

This window from the street
picks up fresh names
these droplets that at this very moment . . .

Anyway with these electric torches
one can even catch a tiger

Wait a minute!

Tomorrow
will wake up with another pair of eyes

With these electric torches

With these electric torches

Close

With these electric torches

There is nothing new
in the hand that ties this light bulb
to the peak of the mountain

This window from the street
picks up fresh names
these droplets that at this very moment . . .

Anyway with these electric torches
one can even catch a tiger

Wait a minute!

Tomorrow
will wake up with another pair of eyes

With these electric torches

There is nothing new
in the hand that ties this light bulb
to the peak of the mountain

This window from the street
picks up fresh names
these droplets that at this very moment . . .

Anyway with these electric torches
one can even catch a tiger

Wait a minute!

Tomorrow
will wake up with another pair of eyes
