Bahtiyar Hidayet Azerbaijan<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While putting up wire mesh around his land,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of poverty, he drove stakes into the ground instead of fence posts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And used a few acacia trees as posts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he went to war<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returned with shrapnel in his body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the wires had wrapped the acacias tightly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, they tore through the bark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And entered inside them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the acacias were eating the wire, squeezing it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acacias resembled their owner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if they too had shrapnel in their bodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And were feeding on that shrapnel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting their iron needs this way, without burdening their roots<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He too was feeding on shrapnel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a war veteran, on 80 AZN a month<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, because of debt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His gas was cut off<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He chopped the acacias into firewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He burned the acacia wood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shrapnel in the acacias was melting from the heat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the shrapnel in his body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was making him feel even colder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
