در بادیه سوسماری با من راه می سپرد A Lizard Walked Beside Me in the Desert

و به هر قدم نانی از من می طلبید

و من که انبانی فراخ داشتم

به مزاح به او می گفتم که انبان من بی پایان است، بیا!...

بادیه را پیمودم

انبان های نان را به پایان بردم

و انبان روزها را پرداختم

و چه پرورانیدم

مگر هیولایی که هم اینک بر درگاه خفته است.

A lizard walked beside me in the desert,

demanding a loaf of bread at every step.

And I – carrying a large sack – told him jokingly,

'My sack is bottomless – come along!'

I crossed the desert,

emptied the bread sack,

cashed in the sack of days.

And what did I beget:

a monster, slumbering on my doorstep.

A lizard walked beside me in the desert

And demanded a loaf of bread at every step

And I- carrying a large sack- told him jokingly

My sack is endless, come along!

I crossed the desert

Finished the bread sack

Paid into the sack of days

And what did I raise?

A monster which is now sleeping on the doorway.
