"

ديرگاهی‌ست که دستی بدانديش
دروازه‌ی کوتاه خانه‌ی ما را نکوفته است
...

با آنان بگو که با ما
نيازِ شنيدن شان نيست

با آنان بگو که با تو
مرا پروای دوزخ ديدار ايشان نيست
تا پرنده‌ی سنگين‌بال جادویی را که نغمه‌پردازِ شبانگاه و بامداد ايشان است
بر شاخسارِ تازه‌روی خانه‌ی ما مگذاری

در آیينه و مهتاب و بستر بنگريم
در دست‌های يک‌ديگر بنگريم
تا دَر، ترانه‌ی آرامش‌انگيزش را
در سرودی جاويدان
مکرر کند

تا نگاه ما
نه در سکوتی پُردرد، نه در فريادی ممتد
که در بهاری پُرجویبار و پُرآفتاب
به ابديت پيوندد
...
