‏مادرم
‏دستى پر از نور
‏در آستانه‌ی در
‏کتابی گذاشت در دستانم

‏این رنگ‌ها را بخوان
‏که جهان، بی‌سبزیِ خیال
‏تنهاتر از یک کاسه آب است

‏ورق زدم
‏و باران
‏از لابه‌لای صفحات
‏به گلدان اتاق ریخت

‏او
‏از پشت حروف
‏به من لبخند زد
‏هر کلمه
‏ شاخه‌ای است.

Dr Mohammad Sharif Razai said, “The data informs that uptake is growing, but in uneven ways, with disparities in ethnicity and socio-economic status. This points to the need for equitable, targeted public health strategies for people to make informed decisions; particularly in communities with historically lower uptake.”

The first UK-based analysis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine uptake during pregnancy and its association with perinatal outcomes has found no evidence of increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes among vaccinated women.

کتاب زمین سوخته احمد محمود به دستم رسید. داستان بسیار پُر شتاب و با تب و تابی ست. هر چند از سوژه جنگ خوشم نمی آید اما شیوه نگارش و پرداختن در این کتاب بسیار جالب است.

Perspective

‌در تیره شبِ هجرِ تو جانم به لب آمد
وقت است که همچون مَهِ تابان به درآیی

بر رهگذرت بسته‌ام از دیده دو صد جوی
تا بو که تو چون سرو خرامان به درآیی

حافظ

‌

حناست آن که ناخن دلبند رشته اي
‏يا خون بي دليست که دربند کشته اي
‏من آدمي به لطف تو ديگر نديده ام
‏اين صورت و صفت که تو داري فرشته اي
