Helpless Smoke
A Poem by Faridoon Shahryar
On the cobbled road
She walked alone
Blood dripped
The breathing
Heaved and echoed
Flowers fell voluntarily
Even the thought of comfort
Isn't comforting any more
One last time she
Looked up
The vulgar roar of hyenas
Blew the candle of life off
Helpless smoke wafts away...
