Straw<\/strong>berries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I asked you, how to<\/span>
\n<\/span>say <\/span>freedom <\/span><\/i>in a Persian<\/span>
\n<\/span>dialect from Qom,<\/span>
\n<\/span>you laughed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to taste the word,<\/span>
\n<\/span>in chalk, blood, bite marks,<\/span>
\n<\/span>rubber, gas,<\/span><\/p>\n

let it drip down, sweet fruit,<\/span>
\n<\/span>and find its place with you,<\/span><\/p>\n

see how it feels in the back<\/span>
\n<\/span>of big yellow taxis,<\/span><\/p>\n

in front of star patterns<\/span>
\n<\/span>in shattered glass.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I took a rosebud from<\/span>
\n<\/span>the counter case, studied in light,<\/span><\/p>\n

how feel to run out<\/span>
\n<\/span>with dynamite sticks and megaphones,<\/span><\/p>\n

break car windows, slash tires,<\/span>
\n<\/span>pour sugar down drainpipes,<\/span><\/p>\n

give gotten candy to onlooking children.<\/span><\/p>\n

You said it was the same as<\/span>
\n<\/span>strawberries<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether I liked them or not. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
