Herati Women Poets

 

Poisoned

That night….
At the private gathering of the scorpions
A heated and bitter discussion
          Continued for a long while
The topic: injecting poison into knowledge’s organs
Choosing the poison
          They couldn’t come to an agreement
Suddenly, from their midst
A black one, the worst of his offspring
Opened his barbed mouth
          Saying that
Night is passing, we mustn’t delay
While the victims sleep
Arise and find someone to sting
I inherited from my grandfather
A bottle of deadly poison
I will sacrifice myself…
