The dog has taken my head – a poem by Parsa Golshani
My head has been taken by a dog
With all its thoughtful worms
That eat wool and take gas
Yes! You, who have been dressed in a thousand-year-old rag
Were beaten on the arch
They entrusted the endless longing of your sleepless nights
To the sun
So its shadow in the depths of your darkness, would be a sleeping companion to the light
When they ordered your silent roar
With the command of a headline,
I took you to the thousandth silence for eternity
Involuntarily, I planted the weeds of death
Next to its light, I planted my own flower
A gardener whose fear was his cane…
My head has been taken by a dog
My head has been taken by a dog, so I can spend a moment carefree and careless.
“Parsa Golshani, a prisoner confined in Evin Prison, has composed this poem in memory of Bakhtash Abtin.”
