Autumn

And this is how what dies ,dies And what passes , passes And what fades , fades under the layers of dust And you ask And I never answer And ants carry forests to the tiny tunnels And birds migrate to the fare shores And stormes hit the shores And sands drown an ancient village And locustes eat what is trying to survive the climatequakes Do you feel bored of the sea noises Or the shameless clouds How fierce are the windows of the night And through its narrow panes , the nocturnal wind sneaks like a grayish song Shaking the sheets of bed with bitterness And cold is a scare on the noses Gets blue in the frozen delicate finger-tips And the trempling of the hearts And you ask And I got confused with the answer ,silent , And , silent , I melt in the roads . Written & translated from arabic by Mido
