Every night
a different message.
Tell me tonight
about the translucent bones
of icicles on the gutter.
Their tale is a disclosure
of your stalking.
You enter as a burglar
on the heels of darkness
and leave no fingerprints,
yet cleverly steal away secrets
between the elusive shadows
you create,
some darker than others,
convoluted figures
rummaging in the most remote corners
of the room.
The sleepless await an explanation
but your peering eyes
slip away
when the clouds make you blink.
If you do take something,
no one is the wiser.
The sand in your light
eventually blinds into submission
the most suspicious
who, in the morning, awake inspired
yet unaware of your intrusion,
until the icicles drip
in the rising sunlight.

Though I go my way calmly,
humble in countenance,
know, my love,
my soul is loud with rebuke,
my mien restrained,
my desire fierce.

the wind spoke to me
I went to the orchard,
leaves came down
of every kind
with busy whisperings
I could not understand.

In my presence
the men work feverishly at their tasks
denying themselves tobacco
and conversation.
In my absence,
like air bags expiring,
they link to comfortable places
and roll cigarettes
and discuss cheap labor.

We go to the meadow,
a small army,
We are going to gather mushrooms,
and fire wood.
We carry spade and axe
and gunny sacks.
Nothing will stop us.

The guests sat on the new sofa,
they talked of old things
we sat on old chairs
and talked of new things.
They talked of new things and grew old,
We talked of old things and dashed out.

Archie (Khatchik) Minasian passed away 25 years ago on Thanksgiving. His concise, beautiful poems have long been favorites of mine and readers of APP. This week, we will honor Archie's memory with a few more selections of his work.

Տե'ս, ալիքը մերթ կուռի
կնոջ լանջի պես դողդոջ.
ժանյակով մը փրփուրի
նուրբ սքողված է ամբողջ.
մերթ ալ ողորկ կը գոգնա
ծոցին պես զույգ սրտինքի,
ուր կույս սիրտ մը կը խոկա
աղվոր բաները կյանքի:
