ZF:A GREEN PLANT

شعری از زهره خالقی با ترجمه ی فرامرز سلیمانی

نهالی سبز جوانه زد
در حدیث عشق.
وقت دیدار
ارمغان آورد
غزلی عاشقانه
که مرهمی ست
بر شعله ی نفس عاشق

A green plant is budding
in narrative of love
It brought a gift
A Love Ghazal
when meeting.
A healer
in the flame of lover's breath

FARAHAIKUHA: DEATH

مرگ مارا عریان می رباید

پیش از آن که دامان بگشاید

و باد سفره ی مدام مرگ است

WILLIAM FALKNER:Don't be a writer,Be writing

ویلیام فاکنر:نویسنده نباش ، نوشتن باش 

"I wish I was home"
Once Faulkner said,
I wish writing the trees in my solitude
"I wish there is a difference between loneliness and solitude."
I wish I was green
In the sun
Shadows of trees
Are walking  everyday
Faulkner wants to be inside
But without A.C.
As it is helping the global warming.
Peace is what we love
From dawn to dusk to dawn
So we settled in Rowan Oak
One day he was standing in the balcony
When he flew to the sky
of YOKNAPATAWPHA
On the sandy walkway
The shadow of magnolia
-That was not

با الویس در ممفیس:
سفر
تمامی ی در های بسته است
که در توفان می گشاید
و با زمین چرخ می زند
و تخم مرغ های بندیکت
در سفره ی باد

شهر در اشغال شاه الویس
می جنبد و می چرخد
پس از ٣٥ سال

با گنبد های چراغان
طول خیابان اصلی را می پیماید
تا هرم نقره یی .
کادیلاک های الویس و استودیوی آفتاب
کاخ سپید الویس
گریس لند خانه ی شماره ی ٢ پس از کاخ سفید
گو رستان تپه ی بیشه ها
زمین گریس لند
خیابان تنها
هتل دل شکسته
ابر نقره یی
روح سپید الویس
عقاب سیاه
شاه هنوز این جا زندگی می کند
و افسانه ی حیات دو روزی نبود بیش ش
WE ALL SHOOK UP !

هزارویک شب شعر

هزار و یک شب شعر 

سالی  تازه 

حدیث می شود 

بر دیوار باد 

که عشق را بر پا می دارد 

به دست دوست 

WE ARE GOING

ما می رویم و شما می ما نید 

شما می روید و ما می ما نیم 

تنها بازی ی بی بازیگری

OXFORD,MISSISSIPPI,WILLIAM FAULKNER'S ROWAN OAK

Our excursion to Oxford , Mississippi with my old friend ,Said,started from Square Book in downtown,a landmark by its own right with a good collection of books of their native son,William Faulkner,although missing two precious volumes of his poems.Then we discovered Faulkner's house in a wood ,down S.Lamar to the Old Taylor Road,off the main road to downtown.Faulkner bought this house of 1840 Greek revival in 1930 and lived there with his family until his death at 1962.He named the house ROWAN OAK in 1931,for Rowan Tree ,a symbol of peace.Later the house was sold by the family to The University of Mississippi to be well preserved.This is where William Faulkner's most stories and novels have been written Some of his illustrated letters from Paris,His manuscripts and Nobel Prize of 1949 found recently in this place are put in auction by the family . Faulkner won The Nobel Prize in literature in 1949 ,as well as Paulitzer and National Book award in 1954 for his  book: A Fable ,and became the most read and studied author in the world after William Shakespeare.William Faulkner,s First novel SOLDIERS' PAY was written in New Orleans and published in 1926 with the help of Sherwood Anderson,a friend and co-worker in the literary magazine:The Double Dealer ,who lived in Pontalba apartment in 1924 and found a publisher for him.Next to this place in Pirate's Alley
 a k a Cabildo Alley is where William Faulkner lived from 1925 to 1926 and now the first floor of the building is a bookstore with some memorabilia of faulkner .A plaque outside on the wall says: Here in 1925 William Faukner,Nobel Laureate wrote his first novel ,Soldier's Pay"Later ,he also wrote MOSQITOS,1927 and letters to his mother in the same place,New Orleans.He also wrote a foreword to his roommate,William Spratlingwho compiled $1 sketches of the people of French Quarter and published under the title of Sherwood Anderson and other famour creole.(..)

This was the beginning of Faulkner's inspiration by people and places of south like Indians and slaves and their stories,some happening in the imaginary YOKNAPATAWPHA Country, to contribute to Southern Literature along with Tennessee Williams*,Truman Capote,Eudora Welty of Jackson,Mississippi ,among others.
