Screams of the mothers
echo through these hills
not so far away
from the women searching
through the rubble of a school
for their murdered daughters
finding them
not so far away
from this field full of robins
in this naked scenery of March
suddenly drying in a pitiless wind
soon to burn
lovesick for awhile if we're lucky
soon to burn

in Minab, Iran, at the beginning of "Trump's War" on February 28, 2026
