Long Listed for the 2023 Griffin Poetry Awards

Blind Musician
 
 
     I felt a stranger in this city although my family had been
established here since the ancient days. For this when Helen
undressed and took off her hair pins, her hair fell uncontrollably
and covered all the puzzles. Then it was difficult for me to find
my way back. And always in the street the blind with his flute:
he played a low tone song that made the birds descend and pick
the small black stigmata centuries had left on the marbles.
