An opium eating horse
Translated to english by : Haider Alkabi
*******
My body was in one room and i in another
I cut my self while shaving and smiling in the mirror
When i heard that some scuba divers had found a horse eating opium in a silver mine .
Not long ago , i arrived here walking from another planet ,
Took a bath and shaved when the above incident occured .
Iam going to meet dancer at the post office .
(Perhaps her husband is now smoking aboard a ship )
I will buy coal tongs for my heater
and curtains smuggled from some distant country .
With the dancer at my side .
