Border City – A Poem by Shahriar Behrouz
What is the weight of a gun? I’m afraid it will dislocate your shoulder. بگردان
And the blood that has a red smile on its face, turn your neck around.
“Kissed before I pick the thorny wires” شتر
“And let us come to the forefront of freedom, I fear you more.” من
The reason I lost it. The woven hair in my clothes. میدهد؟
Does the scent of bird’s wings give you courage? Does your loneliness guide you through the ruins? ش را بر روی کیبورد میگذارد
He goes and sings “Bazi Kobani”. In the room, he puts his hands on the keyboard. میکشند
You pull your hair over your shoulders, bombs are being dropped, and missiles are whistling. نمیکند
They are killing and this commotion does not diminish your loneliness. بگذار
I am afraid, I am afraid that you have gone and left your loneliness with yourself. ، تصمیم گرفتهایم که همیشه برده باشی
“Be a servant. My dear, we have decided that before we are born, you will always be a servant.”

She spins and remembers the blood-red smile on her face.
I am afraid, I am afraid my hands will be late to hold your hands.
And my trembling knees cannot dance on your grave. تو
The clothes you are wearing have the scent of gunpowder and are on your body.
It is beautiful, only silence knows about tanks and guns. است
Don’t worry if the clothes are empty and the blood is a red smile.
On his face, he will have blood and will cry. I feel like a turtle.
It is me who rings the bells.
And from the heights of the roofs and minarets, it comes towards you.
I have seen a woman in my dream who is strangely similar to you. اون
He was digging a well as tall as me, I’m scared, he.
I am afraid that I will die before I see you.
Death cannot give me comfort. I must bring out my sorrows from the treasure.
Let me say goodbye to my mother with fear and come towards you. آن برایم بشنود
We must come and I am so afraid to hear the red voice for me. هنوز بیدار نیستی
Be calm, for it is late and you are still not awake.
I cannot find my way back behind any of the barriers.
