Yasmin Hemmat writes

The Barren Field of Requiem


I was born in a distant and solemn 
Kingdom of hatred and destruction

Near the silent sea of fire

In a city crowded with gloom



My life was written in the

Book of the history of grief

Chanted by scops

In interminable deathly hours



The world must know the

Blind witches of time

Turned my lofty flower bed of dream

Into the barren field of requiem.
BLIND WITCH by Miklos Ligeti
