SAEED WILL RECYCLE

2009

 

Time will turn back

torn pieces of our body

will be sewn together again

 

Our lands

will be devoid of fervor

plains will fill with Acacias again

 

Saeed will return from his grave

from thunder of bullets

from Evin prison

to his bride chamber

 

Blood will disappear

from his lips

his coffin will change

to fresh velvet bed

 

Saeed will get up to return

to Freedom square

to donate slogans to sun

to Norouz

to small garden

in her mother’s house

and to the people

who screamed

life is eternal!

 

Saeed Soultan Pour, a writer and a thinker who was arrested

 on his wedding night and was killed by Iranian government later.
