هشت کتاب - خواب ها - گل کاشی

'The Tile Flower', a prose poem from Sohrab Sepehri's collection Life of Dreams (first printing 1332 SH / 1953) in Eight Books. The poet describes a flower on a tiled wall, washed by a rain of light, its stem dancing like a black snake; the same flower he had sought since childhood in porches and stained-glass windows. Each time he reaches to pick it, his dream falls apart.
