Nassy Fesharaki Poems

Mesopotamia

It was Bush and Saddam
In fact, Ramsey-Reagan
...

I want to be a bird

The bird that drinks a lot; gets drunk and flies; hits the wall and remains full of joy, full of lust
...

Millet

In old days when was child in mountains
-we grew everything and were self-sufficient
...

Barley

My stew, chunks of beef, lemon juice, hot spice
Has barley
...

Rain again

Once again equinox
Normally time of rain
...

What joy is in all this?

Tell me all about it
Long ago I heard some; of Nahid
...

Pots lie

Pot too lies
This liar; double faced
...

Whale

I had heard
Books had said
...

We are friends

We are friends, sit and talk
They are all of same pond
...

Revival

Like old days in Makab
Not on floor; round table
...
