"You Who Weave the Threads of Your Executioner's Lash / from Your Sister's Tresses"

Thomas Thompson December 20, 2016

The title of this post is from Aḥmad Shāmlū's 1951 collection The Manifesto, from the poem "Until the Red Blossom of a Shirt." The drawing is, again, from Gharbzadegi by Āl-i Aḥmad.
