Hat in the Wind

        By Majid Naficy

Oh, wind!

Where are you taking my hat?

I will follow you

Beyond this foggy bay

Beyond these Pacific waters

And in the bosom of my homeland

I will find my father

Whose hat one day in Fire Temple Mountain

Was carried away by the wind 

And I ran after it.
