Witness

        By Majid Naficy

        To an Iranian Witness in a Swedish Court


Is not a wheelbarrow of ropes
A sign of hanging?
Is not a refrigerated truck
A sign of burying?
Is not a box of sweets
A sign of sick hatred?

From behind the blind
One can only see the jailers
Fleeing the scene of the crime.

But when you return to your ward
You find out from empty places
How many prisoners are hanged
In Gohardasht in July 31.
