Falling Down

Translated from Armenian by Daniel Janoyan
Glendale, California - January 20, 2004


Having fallen into a deep well,
I can stand up no more.

I gallop running down swiftly,
I can cling to nothing anymore.

I do feel your presence, indeed,
I can see no more.

Stretch your hands for me to hold,
I can reach them no more.

The bottom of the well,
I can see no more.
