Drumheller Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Drumheller

Her way, talk, behaviour
Represented angel…

Told her of the mistake
In detail, explained
Each, all my complaints.

She gave me an email
To send her the papers.

I smiled and told her:
"I must write a poem
About your Drumheller! "

In me sound of the name
Sounded ring of old bell
By flames of the hell!

I recalled the hellish
Drum sounds, Prairies
After died friendship
And faded bud of peace.

Imagine Drumheller
Retelling stories
Of the old-time fear
And clouds of dread
By death of friendship
On its corpse, gallop of
The horse of painted face…

Frankly Drumheller
To me is reminder
Of a long-distance past
With echoes of torture.

I have seen places,
Overcame the dangers,
So, wonder how a girl
With the voice of angel
Stirred me to shiver!
