Poem, by Parnia Abassi

 Parnia Abassi was an Iranian poet, reported killed at the age of in the bombing of Tehran.

.

I cried for both of them

for you

and for me

blows

to the stars my tears

in your world

the freedom of light

in my

the pursuit of shadows

you and I will arrive in the end

at some where

the most beautiful poem in the world

is stopping

you begin

at some where

to complain about the murmur of life

but I will finish

and

i will be that dying star

in your sky

like smoke
