The Armenian in Me

Maybe its age
Maybe the years
I sit under the orchard

Counting the tears
At the bottom of the glass
Reconstructing,

Is it the Armenian in me?

{}

In dream, In paradise
In the blood
In the rolling thunder
between us
I remove the scarf
The air beneath your feet
The swords crossed in gripped hands

The blind wind of desolation
That pretends all mountains
Will crumble before
Its raging
