Dawn of the Cold Season

A piecewise reading and musical presentation of...Let Us Believe in the Dawn of the Cold Season

By Forugh Farrokhzad

And here I am,

a lonely woman

on the threshold of a cold season

at the dawn of realizing earth’s sullied existence

and the sky's blue despair

and the impotence of these hands made of cement.

Time passed.

Time passed and the clock struck four times.

Four times.

Today is the winter solstice

and I know the secret of seasons,

know the language of moments.

The Messiah sleeps in a grave

and the earth—the hospitable earth—

beckons one to serenity....
