The Doves

outside doves perch everywhere
it is clear from
their cooings of love and delight
it is clear from the whirr of their wings
wings which seem to fan me in my prisoner's sleep
it is clear outside
doves perch everywhere
the night is like a day on the other side of the bars
on this side the day is like the night

- Reza Baraheni -
exiled Iranian novelist, poet and political activist.
