Translation

i want to translate
english within english
itself,
without the widows left
by explorers who
died in their exploration.
to go through deserts that withstood
foot prints,
to find an oasis that matters.
to open a new river that contains
the oasis,
one as far as nile river,
full of crocodiles that travel-
so much that anyone
who dared to be swept
in the stream
will find gold beneath the river
and love in themselves,
as though they just went through
what they were meant for,
despite never knowing what is it.
