No Thing
No Thing is an English poetic reimagining of a poem I originally wrote in Persian. Rather than translating the original, I chose to rewrite it in English, allowing its rhythm, silences, and images to take on a new life in another language. The original Persian poem can also be read on my Persian poetry blog.
Nothing to see.
Nothing to hear.
Nothing to say.
Nothing worth reading.
Nothing worth writing.
Nothing to laugh for.
Nothing to cry for.
Nothing to build.
Nothing to burn.
Nothing to stay for.
Nothing to live for.
Nothing to die for.
Nothing
no
thing
left
for…
