"از خراسانم".

نفسی چند فتادم درین شهر فسون

پی تبعید خود انگیخته ای.

 

"لقمه نانی دارم"

حاصل کد یمین

که خورم با شادی

و گهی ناشادی

پس از آنکه ببرند شرطه و مستوقی و داروغه شهر

همره صاحبکار

به فراخورد هوس

هر یکی سهمی از آن.

 

و ندانی به چه لذت بخورند

حاصل رنج مرا.

 

کیسه ها دوخته بس ریز و درشت

که به یغما ببرند هستی من.

اشتها تیز نموده  زان پس

بهر بلعیدن یکپارچه خانه من

که گلو تر بکنند با شرکت

به حساب کَل و کاشانه من.

پس از آن مست و خراب و مدهوش 

از پس قایق توپدار و تفنگ

عزم خونریزی اقوام دگر جزم کنند.

 

ای دریغا! ای درد!

عرقم اندر کار

بهر آزردن انسان دگر؟

 

این دگر سوخته در آتش خشم

ژرفنای جگر و سینه من.

 

زین سبب داد زنم از سر درد

کز خراسانم

پخته در آتش خورشید و تب کار و ادب.

مرده ریگی دارم

مملو از گنج سخن

ونیاموخته ام درخُردی

رسم و آیین خَمُش ماندن را.

 

 بیست و یکم جولای

2004

اتاوا

I am not really a poetry person.
But this poem of yours made me cry! It speaks from the heart and there is so much which has been sid in a few lines.
I am going back to read it again.
Thank you.

Identification

by Manoucher Avaznia on

Souri Jaan;

 

I do not understand what you mean by my true identification.  Except for the fact that my first name has been misspelt by Canadian authorities upon admitting me to this land, that I do not care very much about a misspelt name, I always have been the same person.  I have written a book of war memoirs about Iran-Iran War that includes an eyewitness account of what I have gone through during my staying in the war zone in Khuzestan that you can read a portion of it on the Website of Infinity Publishing and you may also order the book from there.  Also, I have self-published two books of poetry in English with the same publishing company.  You can see some samples of those books there. Until 2004 I had no interest in writing peotry.  Just to see how professional I am here in Canada and what kind of life I live, please read my next peom. I have always been known with this name. I hope this is enough.  The rest is the subject of a novel that will be written in detail.

Thank You

by Souri on

I think you are a very professional one ! You just don't want to say your true identification.

This one was another great one. Thank you.
