July, 2014 -- 166 years after Tahirih's appearance unveiled before 72 men gathered at the Conference of Badasht, Iran, an appearance hardly understood or accepted to this day

Rent Asunder


Táhirih shattered the crystal of imposed silence
and it has never been whole again 

rent asunder by her voice and her unleashed gaze
the crystal is now dangerous 

veils rip on its jagged edges 


did you know a veil could bleed?
