Nagorny Karabach [English translation]

The town lies under mist

I am up on my mountain

in my black garden

squeezed in between the heavens

in the enclave of my choice

where I am hiding

in Nagorny Karabakh

Once deep forests

mountain chains, maybe ice

a brass-yellow sun

perpetrates a paradise

my sys- or diastole

and between them the moment

borne by the birds

about their business here

in the enclave of my heart

where I lose myself

in Nagorny Karabakh

I climb down the mountain

enter one or another valley

flying flags of every colour

in Mount Karabakh

Two large black ravens

devouring the plums in the tree

I wonder if the other city cares for me...

In the enclave of my choice

where I am hiding

in Nagorny Karabakh

Come and pay me a visit

I have unlimited time

and the view is most lovely

over the clouds and the town

in Nagorny Karabakh

Nagorny Karabakh
