Three W
ar Veterans
By Majid Naficy
Around a wooden table near the sea
Were sitting three veterans
In their wheelchairs
Striking matches in the wind
to light their cigarettes.
Now in their places
Are three white doves
pecking at crumbs from the table
and cooing toward the sea.

سه سرباز جنگآزموده
مجید نفیسی
به گِردِ میزی چوبین کنار دریا
سه سربازِ جنگآزموده نشسته بودند
روی صندلیهای چرخدارشان
و کبریت میکشیدند تا در باد
سیگاری روشن کنند.
اکنون بجای آنها
سه کبوتر سپید نشستهاند
که به نانریزههای روی میز نوک میزنند
و به سوی دریا بغبغو میکنند.
