Iran

"Little white flakes fall on Pistachio-brown loam,
on the little rugs on motorcycle tanks,
little white flakes fall on old cars,
on the large wooden palm leaves beside the mosques,
fall on posters with revolutionary leaders,
on stores with sewing machines lined up like Ferraris,
on sacks full of spices, into bowls of brown lamb skulls,
little white flakes fall on Yazd." (...)

Poem by Franzobel, "Snow on Yazd" from the book "Iran, a winterjourney" by X-Change culture-science with photographs and texts by several writers and photographers.
