A theatre friend in Tehran questions:

she is afraid now.

No, not just online

Fearful in every sentence

In every breath or thought

Her friends want to do more

Than post comments

Whether frustration or contentment

practice helps, perhaps

May we be present

May the answers find us

May our deepest senses prevail
