On the Second Anniversary of the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini
We Remove Our Scarves
Majid Naficy
We remove our scarves
And use them to knit
A shroud for you.
No!
We will not weave
A hanging rope
With your turban.
You have already been
Dead for years.
We say: woman
We say: life
We say: freedom
And with the third shout
The dead God collapses.
