The soldier sits and has a cigarette.
With one paff
his gun changes into a guitar.
And with the next
the guitar turns into a gun again.
The children walk back
from the mine fields,
their legs turned into stumps.
In the moonlight they dance
to the strains of his guitar.
Translated from Farsi by the author and Hans-Christian Oeser
