On the Bar

Mandana Vahebi


 

Sitting where

My hands,

holding a glass.

In this glass Lens

I saw you once,

My hands dancing at your presence,

Thousands and I don’t know how many styles

And touches

On my organism partner.

See my fist hugging the glass

Its cry-face

Crunched;

I drink the tears

              Cheers!
