METAMORPHOSIS
by Sherife Allko
(Translated from Albanian)
The drop of tear weeps on the eye,
It became a river.
I donβt know,
It is right or wrong.
The tear hurt,
Or the tear hurt.
Unfortunately,
The culprit was never found.
Tears flow for years,
They became long rivers,
They returned to the sea.
The salty tear dried up when it fell to the ground.
A stone was placed on it,
And the name of death was engraved on the stone.
The acorns broke from the pain.
Evil won as always.
β¦.
(Self-translation from ALBANIAN)
