For the days after the killings,
when the city is silent and the names are still fresh:
We are left with absences
with voices that no longer fill the rooms,
with streets that remember.
We carry our grief gently, like a small light in the wind.
Not to forget,
but to insist that stolen lives still deserve to be seen.
We are in mourning, but we stand.
With the names of our loved ones on our lips,
and with a hope we refuse to bury.
In hope of a free Iran.
