Short Story: “Dance of Flames” written by Soroonaaz Sistani.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

My mother sat in the middle of the room and put my brother next to the heater to open his shirt. I was sitting in the corner of the room, doing my homework and looking at her from under my eyes. She put her hand on the knot of his shirt and looked at the flower on the carpet, saying under her breath, “I know what to do with them.

\nGave his life
\nTo become the voice of opposition
\nAnd the tyrant who said nothing, did nothing.
\nHe had to break and be broken
\nSo that you could ride the waves
\nThe waves that have turned to the left.<\/p>\n

History laughs with a sob
\nAt our uncertain fate and that I
\nWake up to the sound of the king’s drum every morning
\nAnd late at night, after the last drum, in my dreams
\nHow can I<\/p>\n
