“نازلی! بهارخنده زد و ارغوان شکفت
در خانه، زیر پنجره گل داد یاس پیر
دست از گمان بدار!
با مرگ نحس پنجه میفکن!
بودن به از نبود شدن، خاصه در بهار...
نازلی سخن نگفت،
سر افراز
دندان خشم بر جگر خسته بست رفت
***
نازلی ! سخن بگو!
مرغ سکوت، جوجه مرگی فجیع را
در آشیان به بیضه نشسته ست!

نازلی سخن نگفت
چو خورشید
از تیرگی بر آمد و در خون نشست و رفت
***
نازلی سخن نگفت
نازلی ستاره بود:
یک دم درین ظلام درخشید و جست و رفت
نازلی سخن نگفت
نازلی بنفشه بود:
گل داد و
مژده داد: زمستان شکست!
و
رفت...”

“همزاد چشمهای توام در بازتاب آشوب
که پس زده است پشت دری های قدیمی را و نگران است.
آرامشی نمانده که بر راه شیری بگشاید.
و روشنای بی تردیدت
از سرنوشتم اندوهگین می گردد.
دنیا اگر به شیوه چشم تو بود
پهلو نمی گرفت بدین اضطراب...
از پرده ها فرود می آید ماه
وز شاخه های بید می آویزد
و لای سنگ و بوته و خاکستر
از باد
آرامش زمین را سراغ می گیرد.
شاید صدای گنجشکی از شاخه سپیده نیاید.
شاید که بامداد خو کرده است با خاموشی.
چشمان بسته ات را اما می شناسم
و زیر پلکهایت
بیداری من است که بی تابم می کند...”
― محمد مختاری, سحابی خاکستری
