Raven
for Pooyan

Soak your fingers in wine
plant the sun in your heart
so we can defeat dark times

Come tonight
it’s been long since moonlight
waited behind these windows to be open

Come tonight
so all the closed windows
old and shaggy
open from the rush of your aroma

I invited the raven
to come with the familiar music
from our country
to remind us of good old times
when that familiar raven flew between
treetops in our backyard
then settled on our porch while singing
intensely with excitement
as if he had important news
I remember the day you said:
“War will stop soon, because
the raven is singing longer and louder today”
