Albert Kapikian: Love Poem

They took her... 

I heard with horrified anguish that they had

branded her sunny forehead and cheeks... 

Vahan Totovents

i love                           you

              i am 

                                    fall-

                                                     ing

from these hills

                             search-

                                                     ing

                meadows

                                    for your 

                                                     hand
