جای خالی احزاب غير ايدئولوژيک

به نظر من، بن بست کنونی اپوزيسيون حکومت ايدئولوژيک اسلامی، دقيقاً نتيجهء عدم دوری اپوزيسيون از «ايدئولوژی کاری» و آلوده شدن به «ايدئولوژی زدگی» است ـ وضعيتی که نمی تواند آلترناتيوی امروزی و دموکراتيک را در برابر حکومت اسلامی بنشاند. >>>

Lost

You walk beside my life
Looking ahead
Lost in what has to be
What can’t be
And I look at a last love
Looking in despair
Turning away from us
And disappearing in the midnight.

Dried Rose Petal

The girl whose journal was full of poems and rose petals
Turned out to be a cruel hunter
Chasing young prey
To taste still shaking young flesh
On her cherry lips
With her heart hidden in her grandma’s chest
Mask on her face
Sucking nectar like a butterfly >>>

Where is that brave?

Where is that brave, who has seen your face, daring to speak?
Where is beloved, who has longed for you, and didn't freak?
Who has the patience, to smell your scent, from far meadows,
The source of that scent, on head and on feet, began not to seek?
Who on the globe, has seen a picture, behind some curtains,
Kept claiming arts, before your image, didn't go bleak? >>>

The First Attacks on the Press in Iran

More stunning revelation of the early repression was not the elimination of the free press, but the creation of such a press that rather than protect itself against totalitarianism, it bends to its demands.>>>

از نيمه راه گمشدگی

داريوش فروهر، در زمان انقلاب، دفترش پاتوق من روزنامه نگار پر شر و شور آن زمان بود؛ و صرفنظر از افق های سياسی متفاوت، صميميت پر صلابتی در او بی اختيار افق هامان را برای لحظاتی که با هم بوديم در هم يکی می کرد. و مجيد شريف، حضورش در اين غربت مضاعف، برايم غنيمتی بود که تنها پس از آن که از دستش دادم معنايش را شناختم. جای خالی مجيد را ديگر هيچکس نتوانست در من پر کند. و او خيلی از اين نوشته ام خوشش می آمد. و خيلی در باره ی اين نوشته با هم حرف زده بوديم و بحت کرده بوديم و گفته بوديم و خنديده بوديم و در دل گريسته بوديم اما.>>>

Roses for Rabia

her last love poem she lettered
in her blood, her own pool of warm
blood dripping dipping in it
her fingers made of moonlight

as she lay dying on the tainted
tiles of a public bath
bent against the wall

bright Rabia Balkhi

From prison

This is prison; the women’s ward of Evin prison. This is not my first time here; not the first time I’ve come to Evin. The first time, I came here as a journalist. Alongside the warden, I walked from cell to cell to listen to the stories of women who were here on charges of addiction, prostitution and murder. I heard only a few words from each woman, only what the presence of the warden allowed. That day all the inmates spoke highly of prison conditions in front of the officials and said they had no problems but as I was leaving they slipped a crumpled piece of paper in my pocket that read: "Help us! No one thinks about us here.”>>>
