What Is the Name of This Flower?
By Majid Naficy
What is the name of this flower
And who has planted it
By the walkway?
Every day in the darkness of dawn
When I pass by its side
My sleeve captures its fragrance
So much that for a while
I smell it like an exotic fruit.
It is no surprise that hummingbirds
Sit on its curly branches
And compete with one another
For the taste of its nectar.
Some people too
Are like this flower.
I met them years ago
But their memories
Still perfume my soul
Even though I cannot
Remember their names.
