we should talk about this problem | hafiz

there is a beautiful creature
living in a hole you have dug.

so at night
i set fruit and grains
and little pots of wine and milk
beside your soft earthen mounds,

and i often sing.

but still, my dear,
you do not come out.

i have fallen in love with someone
who hides inside you.

we should talk about this problem—-

otherwise,
i will never leave you alone.
