i went out of my house a drunkard came to me someone whose glance uncovered a hundred houses in paradise
rocking and rolling he was a sail with no anchor but he was the envy of all those sober ones remaining on the shore
where are you from i asked he smiled in mockery and said one half from the east one half from the west one half made of water and earth one half made of heart and soul one half staying at the shores and one half nesting in a pearl
i begged take me as your friend i am your next of kin he said i recognize no kin among strangers i left my belongings and entered this tavern i only have a chest full of words but can't utter a single one

i went out of my house
a drunkard came to me
someone whose glance
uncovered a hundred
houses in paradise
rocking and rolling
he was a sail
with no anchor but
he was the envy of all those sober ones
remaining on the shore
where are you from i asked
he smiled in mockery and said
one half from the east
one half from the west
one half made of water and earth
one half made of heart and soul
one half staying at the shores and
one half nesting in a pearl
i begged
take me as your friend
i am your next of kin
he said i recognize no kin
among strangers
i left my belongings and
entered this tavern
i only have a chest
full of words
but can't utter
a single one
thank you, anonymous
