Reflections on a rainy day (not today)

Reflections: one month later

I became unhappy with my life once I learned how to cook for one

For it was then that I realized

That love doesn't blossom in everyone's back yard

And when you have the chance to listen to your heart

You should take it

One jezveh

And a lonely coffee cup

Sit in the dish drying rack in my kitchen

There, I never drank coffee alone,

There were always at least 5 cups

Sitting in the dish drying rack

And you made coffee for me,

Each time, with sehr

Sehr means love in Armenian

But it is also the word used to describe

The additional foamy bit in your coffee

You can request your coffee with or without sehr

I always asked for sehr when I knew 

You were making the coffee

"Untitled" (anvernagir) is the title of works of art

Many are given this title there

And I am not surprised.

In a place where street names change regularly

And you can never be sure of the name of the street on which you live

In a place where you cannot define yourself

As others are much more quick to define you

In a place where words don't even exist

In the language in which you speak

Where rules are flexible, time is fluid, friends are constant

And each day holds no more new promises than the day before

"Untitled" is a word that describes more than just works of art.
