A homo-phonic translation of a Persian poem:

by: Maryam Hooleh

Chill

Agree to bear the main rage of sincerity

Bare and allow labels flung, grazed

Careful but patient, heard raging, but dared to share

When I stare in, within

Snatch a long death, heard by each person

Why outrun it, why overtake?

Yes, re-fire the mainstay of partial self

While you chill, they are unfairly marked

Fear and sadness their diadem
