The Weeping Willow Sings Haunting shots I hear singing in the leaves But rivers of blood Eyes open I hear my Neda sing: But I can not even mourn His evil is clear. My heart sings the only truth, and The Ayatollah is not a woman, not a man Oh God
gushing
sorrows
stains,Basiji,
hear my Neda say
my heart stings
moving branches
interleaving freedoms
like a green dream sad
autumn reds too early
nightmare on Kargar Street,
the world a bitter pixel
it burned me
outside Niloofar mosque.
The Ayatollah mocks my song, but
his mysteries don’t intrigue me anymore.
it burns me that he hasn’t remembered
his Mother
never having any babies
and is ignorant of birth
ignorant of the cry
of freedom
save the child
