Our tracks stopped at a makeshift hut
we cut ourselves off from the world
no one comes to see us
we keep the gate closed
in a driving year-end wind
and daylong falling snow

I was counting the days to behold my old home
first I'll be happy to wait on my mother
then I'll be glad to see my brothers

Language, speech, brought to pitch, to fulness, not only reveals man to man at depth, but opens him that much more to what is given and maybe shared.

The beating snow clad bell wi sounding dead
Hath clanked four - the woodmans wakd again
And as he leaves his comfortable bed
Dithers to view they rhymey feathered pane
And shrugs and wishes - but its all in vain
The beds warm comforts he must no forego

I hope that Erfan Soltani will not be murdered by the Iran regime. And that if he is his sacrifice will be long remembered.
