Blind New Year Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Blind New year

Went on rounds
-as I do and have done!
-I did so even in coldest time
-the "Year End" to let in "New One".

The best and the sharpest
-in nutshell: "For Jaimie".

I called and came reply:
- "I fear is out now …"

Explained intention:
- "I have food…"

"Is for me…"

Opened door
-well-dressed, a young man
-good-looking, was blind…

His hand was extended
-in his face saw fear
-not of the new year
-nor of cold or weather...

A deep sea, galaxy in heart
-loneliness and impaired.

I felt he, is trained:
"People are dangerous…"

Felt dagger in brain
-forgot my questionnaire
-gave him what I use as excuse
-took sealed bag that offered
-saw two bills; twenty and a five
-lots of coins…
-did not count
-in them I had replies
-to questions in my heart
-and research on the mind…
