AS A SILKWORM WEAVING & DYING AWAY AMID ITS PERFORMANCE

VALLEY OF PEACE - وادي السلام

Najafi-Ashraf!
W â d i ' u – s - s a l â m !
The Valley of Peace!

Imâm 'Ali's haram
Martyrial palace of bliss behind my back
with believers' hands, transformed 
into a scream
- And a cry
 
(On the fingertips, as martyrs' peonies
love for The Imâm, in a centuries' bloom)
 
And then, at noon 
when all paused for a twinkle
when the day's folded out to the end
and hasn't started yet to fold up again
I fled . . .

Thereupon alone, like in genesis 
and even more solitary - death
- from tomb to tomb

Wâdi'u-s-salâm, The Valley of Peace
of God's Prophets, Imâms
mortals
