"از خراسانم".
نفسی چند فتادم درین شهر فسون
پی تبعید خود انگیخته ای.
"لقمه نانی دارم"
حاصل کد یمین
که خورم با شادی
و گهی ناشادی
پس از آنکه ببرند شرطه و مستوقی و داروغه شهر
همره صاحبکار
به فراخورد هوس
هر یکی سهمی از آن.
و ندانی به چه لذت بخورند
حاصل رنج مرا.
کیسه ها دوخته بس ریز و درشت
که به یغما ببرند هستی من.
اشتها تیز نموده زان پس
بهر بلعیدن یکپارچه خانه من
که گلو تر بکنند با شرکت
به حساب کَل و کاشانه من.
پس از آن مست و خراب و مدهوش
از پس قایق توپدار و تفنگ
عزم خونریزی اقوام دگر جزم کنند.
ای دریغا! ای درد!
عرقم اندر کار
بهر آزردن انسان دگر؟
این دگر سوخته در آتش خشم
ژرفنای جگر و سینه من.
زین سبب داد زنم از سر درد
کز خراسانم
پخته در آتش خورشید و تب کار و ادب.
مرده ریگی دارم
مملو از گنج سخن
ونیاموخته ام درخُردی
رسم و آیین خَمُش ماندن را.
بیست و یکم جولای
2004
اتاوا

But this poem of yours
by Mitra -- (not verified) on Fri May 23, 2008 03:41 PM CDTI am not really a poetry person.
But this poem of yours made me cry! It speaks from the heart and there is so much which has been sid in a few lines.
I am going back to read it again.
Thank you.
Identification
by Manoucher Avaznia on Thu May 22, 2008 12:17 AM CDTSouri Jaan;
I do not understand what you mean by my true identification. Except for the fact that my first name has been misspelt by Canadian authorities upon admitting me to this land, that I do not care very much about a misspelt name, I always have been the same person. I have written a book of war memoirs about Iran-Iran War that includes an eyewitness account of what I have gone through during my staying in the war zone in Khuzestan that you can read a portion of it on the Website of Infinity Publishing and you may also order the book from there. Also, I have self-published two books of poetry in English with the same publishing company. You can see some samples of those books there. Until 2004 I had no interest in writing peotry. Just to see how professional I am here in Canada and what kind of life I live, please read my next peom. I have always been known with this name. I hope this is enough. The rest is the subject of a novel that will be written in detail.
Thank You
Manoucher Avaznia
You are a pro !

This one was another great one. Thank you.
