My heart is like shattered homes...

"Homeless"
(translated by Armen Babamian)

My heart is like shattered homes,

and broken pillars thrown asunder,

Wild birds will nest in our ruins․

Let me throw myself into the water,

and be food for the fish's babies․ 


White waves lap upon the black sea,

About us and do not mix․

In this melancholic, bewildered state․

What can my darkened heart do?
