1. Mother Nayman

 

In August, the mad sun is burning furiously

in the firmament

 

a camel is running like flying on the parched plain

followed by a bird and a legend

 

a white cloud of the empire and Mankurt

are hanging from the scales

 

on both sides of the street

are standing you and the shadows

 

the plain is endless

and the hills, erected like trees, keep changing their postures

with time

 

 

2. Mankurt

 

Your head is like a huge cage

with your mother in it

like a bird struggling in the darkness

 

in the back shadow of your ashes

the chess is waiting

for the fingerless performance

 

voyeurs in God'sforbidden area

discard your body

and what they have buried is your soul

 

thieves are rushing around at night

keeping in memory

the moment when the clock is struck


*Mother Nayman and Mankurt are characters in
The Day Lasts More than a Hundred Yearsby Chinghiz Aitmatov.
