Hassan Najmi

the blueness of evening

I desire other places to see you
Grass to rest on
And thirsty tongue
To drink with and to name you
I desire night.
I desire another settlement to my days
And I desire you




In the blueness of evening , how much I desire
And how much do I not desire…




Ah , and this shiver coming
With the cold of night!

THE BLUENESS OF EVENING

Close

the blueness of evening

I desire other places to see you
Grass to rest on
And thirsty tongue
To drink with and to name you
I desire night.
I desire another settlement to my days
And I desire you




In the blueness of evening , how much I desire
And how much do I not desire…




Ah , and this shiver coming
With the cold of night!

the blueness of evening

I desire other places to see you
Grass to rest on
And thirsty tongue
To drink with and to name you
I desire night.
I desire another settlement to my days
And I desire you




In the blueness of evening , how much I desire
And how much do I not desire…




Ah , and this shiver coming
With the cold of night!
