Abol Froushan

Mind the gap

Mind the gap

Mind the gap

My deeds are in a dance
with how the world occur to me
Mind the gap in which the words occur

Why when tongues kiss
words keep its memory?
Does water wipe the look like tears?

Bare naked trees hit the rain
like no leaves
Finding the face you know in the crowd
Means passing among the leaves

Mind the gap between you and you
Yes-eyes kiss eyes without No
That delights with or without

Is the goodness of rains for the trees
because of the tears that leave the leaves
Or when it rains?

Mind the gap
where it rains
Abol Froushan

Means passing among the leaves

Mind the gap between you and you
Yes-eyes kiss eyes without No

Is the goodness of rains for the trees
because of the tears that leave the leaves
Or when it rains?

Mind the gap
where it rains

Mind the gap
