Suitcase Kind of Mood
everything is ready for your birth
I
your father
grandfather grandmother family members
the calls of neighbors won’t stop
calls from Karabakh and from other points of the
world
Anahit is still at home
they haven’t taken her to the hospital
still no news
when will she be born
you
have descended in my belly
almost sitting on my knees
mom has gathered two bags
one with my belongings
and the other with yours
beginning from bed sheets
ending with a small scissor for you
this would be needed in the case
that you have long nails
so you don’t scratch yourself
everything is ready for your birth
the red and green bags by my bedside
