چرا ایمیلت را پاک کنم؟ – شعری از مجید نفیسی

Why Should I Delete Your Email?

Majid Naficy

In Memory of Mohsen Mousavi

Why should I delete your email?

This is the last sign

I have from you.

I will let my new poems

Fill up your inbox

Until you become tired of my stubbornness

And get up from this untimely sleep

And remember that day

On the grounds of Nemooneh Elementary School

We walked together hand in hand

And uttered fearlessly

Those three sweet words

Without knowing that tomorrow

Only a bitter taste would remain in our mouths.
