Diana Der Hovanessian: At the Temple of Zvartnots
Its spines and needles draw no blood from the past
where the fallen stone eagle closes black eyes
waiting, waiting for the temple to rise,
curious about the god ascending the throne,
anxious for architects who for centuries failed
to duplicate the miracle that stood in this place.
heard thunder and called it his sign for the site
and Zvartnots rose, Zvartnots rose,
so dazzling beholders praised sight and not source.
the ground slipped, earth shook and Zvartnots fell
with stone eagles plummeting down,
clipped wings falling with collapsing walls.
to calm an earth that can thunder and shake
a countryside, splitting open to consume
the miracle of curved walls and dome.
now that time has blessed the space,
all the stone eagles squint at the skies
waiting for their wings and the pillars to rise.

Jean Asadour: DOUX SOUVENIR
Au-dedans de moi un vieux fardeau,
Eveille l’esprit d’un sentiment affectueux.
S’évade vers un lointain lieu sacré.
Réveille le même sentiment auparavant vécu.
Dans l’air léger et libre.
Ne s’est pas reposé dans mon âme.
Comporte un mystère intarissable.
Au-dedans de moi encore il respire.
Implore l’amour d’autrefois.
