Persian Dreams

first drizzling, slow and coy

it's the flirting clouds

then splashing even screaming

in delirium

manifesting being alive

it's the waters of the earth

someone picking strawberries

someone being served their juice

some trees growing more wrinkles

manifesting being alive

I am seeing Sohrab in dream

A sweet numbness that is

"didn't I tell you" says he

some waving hands

cold as winter leaves

some stretching smiles

warm as fireplace snaps

or fishermen whistles

first drizzling then splashing

"how many of them left"

I'm not the last

wondering
