“and I kept writing of love during the war I wrote you poems so the world seemed less obscene so I’d suspend time and cease the disappearing during the war I wrote you poems so you felt held in your unravelling so the blasts wouldn’t reach who we were becoming during the war I wrote you poems so they wouldn’t win so the fragrance of my people lingered in the streets like a thousand burst tangerines” — Kamand Kojouri
and I kept writing of love
during the war
I wrote you poems
so the world seemed less obscene
so I’d suspend time
and cease the disappearing
during the war
I wrote you poems
so you felt held
in your unravelling
so the blasts wouldn’t reach
who we were becoming
during the war
I wrote you poems
so they wouldn’t win
so the fragrance of my people
lingered in the streets
like a thousand burst tangerines
