“Peace Dove”, “War” and “Survivor”; Three Short Poems by Jamshid Azizi
Dove of peace
In the bosom of poetry
On a land that, instead of soil,
It smells like gunpowder.
After the rain of wishes
I seek the shelter of your hands.
Oh, boundless dove!
Our tired earth
He can’t stand the boots anymore.
***
War
The sun is shining.
That our work and burden
It’s clotted as always!
And how strange it is that children become birds.
They say: The truth is bitter.
They say: We had no choice.
News agencies are weaving again.
Grown-ups decide.
Little people die.
And blood is the only poetry that flows.
And these wounds cannot be healed.
***
Survivor
The war is over.
Me, but
We are still alone.
I’m still empty.
I still have pain.
And I’m still afraid.
Like an apartment that
He has eaten a missile!
