Red Valley
Nuren Noshin Tabassum
I will be there,
Under the glassy sky
Where the divine wind blows,
As calm as your scent,
So secret, but in a simple way,
I will be there,
For you, waiting in the red valley,
Somewhere where heaven and earth
Are only for us.
The permission of divine power will help us meet,
I will be there,
Waiting for you in the red valley,
So patiently, so chastely.
You will come, and I will laugh with
tears; the salt water will roll down
from my right eye first.
The gaps in my teeth will be
visible, shamelessly,
And you will stand silently, like
a safe home, like the very first cosmos.
I will be there in the red valley.
