scourging the soul
cutting the scalp
in memory of hussain
a camera that holds
part of his brain
at the back
of the viewfinder
the shooter of pain
molten tears
on the soul
of karbala
in every grain
cutting raw flesh
sawing
the sinew of chains
a river flowing
through every membrane
he gave his head
but not his hand
for a spiritual domain
the power of yazidiyat
the power of humanity
could not restrain
he came he saw
martyred
won a major campaign
the pillars of truth justice
he did regain
scriptured sorrow
reflected remorse
in a blood stain
hussainiyat
a metaphoric moment
we did attain
