“There's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do you?”

“من هنوز در به درِ طُرّه ی اون زلف سیاتم
من هنوزم سبزِ سبزم، ریشه دارم
یکی از پاپتیاتم

آقای کوچیک نوازِ بنده پرور
من هنوزم صله گیر چشم بارونی و اون
ابر نگاتم

منو کشتی، منو کشتی، منو کشتی
کشته باشی
خوش به حالم
من هنوزم که هنوزه یکی از اون کشته هاتم...”

“گلایل را دوست دارم
به خاطر قلبش
که از پس برگ های لطیفش پیداست

دل آدمی پیدا نیست
و سر انگشتانت را سیاه می کند چون گردو
اگر بگشایی
و ببینی”
― شمس لنگـرودی

“پنجره باز و بسته کن،
یاد ِهوای ابری و
ابرای دلشکسته کن.

پنجره باز و بسته کن،
یاد پرنده آسمان،
نسیم ِدلشکسته کن.”
