“مردان: زندان زنان
زنان: زندان مردان
سرزمین: زندان شاعر
شاعر: زندان واژه
واژه: زندان عکس
آی چه کسی این‌همه زندان را بنا نهاد!؟”
لەتیف هەڵمەت

“من ماڵم بۆچیە
لەدرزی وشەیەکدا جێم دەبێتەوە
من ئاسمانم بۆچیە
چاوی کچێک ئەستێرەم پێ‌دەبەخشێ
من ئاینم بۆ چیە
دەروێشی خوشەویستیم..!
نیشتمانم هەرناوێ
لەپێڵاوی کچێدا جێم دەبێتەوە”

“«دختری با زلف‌های سبز»

چه کسی می‌پندارد:
پیرزن،
هیچ‌گاه آبستن نمی‌شود
مگر نه این‌که…
این کوه‌ستانِ سپیدمو
در تحویل هرسالی…
دختری می‌زاید
زلف سبز و نازدار
اسم‌اش را
می‌گذارد بهار”
لەتیف هەڵمەت
