I Scatter Bread Crumbs to the Sparrows

From my palms spills the joy of sparrows. I call them to the crumbs, Come quickly! and Who will be first? Their frozen bills warm, their small feet etch messages into the earth, but the snow falls, wipes the letters away. The birds are patient – they draw the lines once again, teaching me a new alphabet. One bird corrects a mistake with a claw and the book of poems is full.

As the sparrows peck at the crumbs from inside the house drift news-sounds – I overhear – Ahmadinejad . . . Timashenko . . . The US minister of defense . . . What is the impact of a nuclear weapon? The sparrows continue pecking at the bread Yuliya seems to be just as interesting as Yanukovich, In Gates’s ideas, there is no fear of hunger. The smell of bread is far better than the perfume of a woman. Silence, everyone, please – the sparrows are pecking at the bread.

The bread is pecked by the sparrows – the snowman’s half-lidded coal eyes water a little, its broomstraw hands tremble, and the icy frame begins to melt.

Pecked by the birds, the carrot nose crumbles; the birds assail, topple the dread dummy. - Rabiqe Nazim qizi
