Then all of a sudden, with a joy that I had not known within myself, I said: “If you want to spend the rest of your life listening and watching this nonsense, that’s up to you, but just now I’ve realized I want to spend my life doing something beautiful.” -- from 'The Gowkaran Tree in the Middle of Our Kitchen' by Shokoofeh Azar; (translator is anonymous for security reasons)

When ball
moss falls
we feel
most at
a loss
to explain
why this
soft bomb
of sticks
and fine
jade colored
fronds loud
with naught
drops to
us: does
the tree
let the
moss go
or does
the tree
ask us
to hold
the moss?
~~'Epiphyte Interlude' by Cecily Parks from 'The Seeds'
