October Seventh, Two Thousand and One
Poem

October 30, 2001
The Iranian

 

The sun

...........ablaze

Yellow leaves

.............shimmer

Against a fragile sea

Of glass and blue sky

The air

......................Sits tenderly on the skin

The city sounds

....................,,,,,,,,,weave the ever reassuring tapestry

of horns, birds and brittle sentences

 

Then I cast a look

....................at the horizon

Memory explodes

Images alight

And I choke with terror.
