هرگز نهنگ زاده نخواهد شد
من خُرديِ عظيم خود را مي دانم
و مي پذيرم
امّا

خواب هزار ساله مردابي را مي آشوبد
اين مشتِ خشم
بر جدار دلم
بيهوده نيست كه مي كوبد”
― اسماعيل خوئي

“شب‌های تارِ نم‌نمِ باران ــ که نیست کار ــ
اکنون کدامیک ز شما
بیدار می‌مانید
در بسترِ خشونتِ نومیدی
در بسترِ فشرده‌ی دلتنگی
در بسترِ تفکرِ پُردردِ رازِتان
تا یادِ آن ــ که خشم و جسارت بود ــ
بدرخشاند
تا دیرگاه، شعله‌ی آتش را
در چشمِ بازِتان؟
بینِ شما کدام
ــ بگویید! ــ
بینِ شما کدام
صیقل می‌دهید
سلاحِ آبائی را
برای
روزِ
انتقام؟”
― احمد شاملو
