عُبور Crossing

عُبور

العاصفة التي لا تصادف
في طريقها شيئاً
تَنفُقْ
والجُمَل القصيرة
أجمل وسيلة لعبور المحيطات.
 

Crossing

The storm that meets
nothing in its path
dies.
And short sentences
are the best way
of crossing oceans.
 

Crossing

The storm which encounters nothing
In its way
Dies out/becomes extinct
And short sentences
Are the best way of crossing oceans.
