My dear Friend and Daughter-in-Poetry, Joanne,
Since April 10th 2020, the most unfortunate date in my life, I have been living in isolation, with the tormenting sorrow of Pari's disappearance and the deteriorating condition of my blood cancer. On Saturday twentieth of April I will go to hospital for blood transfusion. All this time I did not have any good news for you. But today I have good photo for you. Recently I found the image of this lost moment of a fleeting happiness. Look at the photo and tell who they are.
With love and best wishes for you and your loving children,
Mahmud

both dressed in beige
his red shirt echoing, complementing, suggesting
the cascade of flowers
red on either side

Kave and Anja hovering, just out of sight
Dear Mahmud,
So happy to hear from you
I think of you every day, hope to see you
this pandemic keeps complicating the kids' wedding plans
fingers crossed we shall all meet in the near future again
in the Kianush garden
