Summer 1988

Which one do we find more useful , keeping things in mind or forgetting them

There is no tombstone in a cemetery . I ask why ? he answers ; we do not put

A tombstone for the dead. so that the wind quickly covers the grave and it is lost.

It is better that the forgotten fast the dead must be forgotten and the live ones

Should be thought of . one summer 88 it was  raining fire from the sky .

The doors were shut .from no holes did the air enter the cell had steamed .

Large drops of sweat were dripping from my head and face .

The uproar of ehe guys from the  rooms was less audible .

I was rolling in sleep and wakefulness .

The ventilation system was off .

The sound of the sea would split through the windows and enter the rooms .

The voice  of the prison guard , pointing out to the guys not to remove their .

Blindfolds and keep looking at the ground , could not be heard , bad news arrives

Beyond your preparation , and in shock . You sink into the chair behind the cafe desk and do not hear

A sound any more . Every night shots were heard . the sounds would travel through cities and  were heard from the corners of the motherland  , families with concern to the news ,

Would look up at dark blue sky for hours . so maybe a star would shine from this sky and light up

Their secluded fears away . The road on KHAVARAN  , outlying places , dark places had found new lit

And when the light started to rise from the east , tulips would wear away .

From the heart of the ground up to the sky .
