The cacophony of birds
sounded like
the babble of Babylon
no terror
better describes
the faces of Babel
than Edvard Munch's
The Scream....

every new tree lives
in the old seed

the old all microseconds
created the era, century, millennium

The Tigris and Euphrates,
they flow like time, 
murmuring and sighing
and running their individual courses,

Your eyebrows are rainbows, your voice smells like rain
Your lips mightier than the red army,they relieve my pain
I didn't tell you, you are my breath, because of my shyness
If I'm not worthy forgive me you are the goddess of kindness
Your arms are the holy land,your hug is my Eutopia
Your eyes Tigris and Euphrates, your nose Mesopotamia
Your mouth full of shiny pearls, just if I could feel you near...

In spring, mountain snowmelt
tumbles and rushes downward,
flooding alluvial plains for farming,
sharing its life-giving waters
from time immemorial to villages,
towns, and great cities....
