AS A SILKWORM WEAVING & DYING AWAY AMID ITS PERFORMANCE

RIVER SANA, OR A REVERIE

d h a r r  8.

As if water actually were not
as if there were only drinking; 

(at the start, and as if all would be the same
at the very end of Time)

But wherefrom then this thirst
wherefrom the tremble of the palate
upon the vibrant call of water?!

(Melika Salihbeg Bosnawi, PTICA O VRATU 
/ BIRD ON NECK, MiM, Sarajevo 2014)
