For all writers of my country, who have died for our future.

تو بالای کوهی
از آن عرش سنگین
صدایم کن آوای آزاد
(صدای مرا قرنها دره ها در ربودند و من از سکوت سخن شرم دارم)
...
تو نزدیک هوری
از آن نور زرین مرا آفتابی کن ای خفته بیدار
مرا دیر بازیست
در چادر شب
به دوری ز خورشید محکوم کردند
بدون ستاره
پر از خواب خرگوش
...
تو بر بال ابری
از آن اوج آبی مرا قطره ای بخش
که خود را بشویم
و گلبرگهای من از تب نمیرند
...

Checking in!

Haven't got anything to say. My country is not very interesting these days. And I have more important things to do; that will bring me international fame and fortune without any relevance to Iran. To be honest, I have stopped even following the Iranian news, but if you want a synopsis:


It's a HILARiOUS macabre! I'm not gonna bother with why the child-birthing organs of our supreme leader are the hottest topic of debate, after an important cleric exposed them anecdotally in a DUMB attempt to sanctify Khamenei. Read and search them elsewhere, with keywords like "ya Ali" probably.

But I am planning to take photography more seriously, for as long as the Iranian-affairs remain uninteresting. Pity I can't go to Iran to take pictures of the flora, fauna, farmers, factories, funs, funerals and fanatics!


Oh, speaking of photography ... did you know Kaveh Golestan?
