اولین صدایی رو که دلتونو لرزونده یادتونه
یه صدای دلنشین زنونه یه اواز لالایی که خوابتون میکرد
یه زمزمه شیرین ما درونه توی خونه که دغدغه‌های بزرگتر شدن و جوانی و مد رسه و کوچه و خیابونو کمرنگ میکرد و خونه رو میکرد یه بهشت یه پناهگاه یه جای امن برا زندگی برا ارامش. ولی در گوشه هایی از این دنیا شنیدن اوای زن مجاز نیست.
