An excerpt from ("Through the Window, I Look at Nali's Donkey) By Peshawa Kakayi and Translated by Goran Sabah
As I ponder the universe A star on the Milky Way A planet or the black holes. My poem expresses it more charming in Kurdish The wind reptiles through my language, Hangs my words Pulls the root of my poem out, Or breaks its stem, If this land is not imbued in my language. I'll imbue it! I'll insert stars in the space of my poem I'll create pressure within you via my efficient language Make the black holes appear! To give your eyes a different meaning, from the other side. I am in love with my language, why poor As I make your eyes, black holes, nipples and black sideburns! Appear like the black holes I ponder the universe Stars' wings stop on my tongue like a bug! Cannot fly unless I blow it, The moon becomes so thin. Lands on my ear lobe to reveal its secrets I'll flip your eye and nipple Use it in my language like a semicolon. To mend my utterance.
