Happy Nowrūz 2012 and Spring Equinox (Ostara) to everyone around the world.

 

My Nowrūz in Exile

I stitch
my skirt
to the spring
of the hostess city,
my skin to the
reminiscence
of springs past
in my city of birth,
and I celebrate
the new year's feast,
Nowrūz, on Cyberspace!

Who knew,
cutting off the
umbilical cord to
Motherland that was
wrapped around my neck,
choking me, that one day
Cybernetics
would be my rented
sugar Nanny,
mending,
rinsing,
ironing
my isolation
in exile!

IranFirst: Thanks for the link to an inspiring cartoon :-). Happy Last Wednesday Eve of the year 1390 to you too.

DK jan: Happy 4-Shanbeh-Suri and Nowruz to you. Munch's The Scream is one of my favourite paintings. Too bad the money doesn't go to his family.

Cheers,

Azadeh

Great to see you, happy Norooz to you too and I wish you a great year to come.  Roboosi motghabel :). 

Azadeh and Monda, where I am, so far the skies are cooperating and I think we will jump over real fire but then again it is not done till its done.

Thank you, friends :-)

Happy 4-Shanbeh-Suri and many jumps over the red fire to all :-).

Monda & Mehrban: I'll jump over the fire in my mind as it is constantly raining here. If it rains in your area as well, why not lighting up a fire on Facebook and consider clicking on "like" as having jumped!! :-)).

Cheers,

Azadeh

Ps. It seems that I live my life more and more in my mind.
