These are my English translations of poems by Munir Momin.
This little poem had me right there witnessing the scene and seeing the moon from the shore long before the boats arrive.
They sail ahead at the same speed
yet the moon reaches the beach
long before the boats.
—Munir Momin, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Poets tend to be keen observers of the world around them, and to appreciate such small ironies.
