Anticlockwise Poem by Rosa Jamali

Anticlockwise
A Poem by Rosa Jamali
Translated from original Persian into English by the author

Is it Midday
Or 6: 05?
You're traveling backward
Anticlockwise
Round the old orbit
On your Zodiac sign
There's a cancerous tower
And a waterfall.

Where is the natural habitat of this migrating bird?

It migrated to African moors
And made a nest there

But the migrating bird
Was an unknown species
With a bloodline to scarce roots and leaves...
