Heading West Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Heading West



Heading West

Heading west
-she drives a Honda
- (a black C-R-V)
-music in her car
- not kind of, very loud

"This girl is on fire! "

I listen and listen and listen

"Nobody knows she is…
-lovely girl…
-she is just a girl…
-and she is on fire! "

Her window is open
-and her hand extended
-her elbow on frame

She holds a cigarette
-uses the index and mid-finger
-burning side is lowered
-to sky, the filter

And she thinks…

Light-blonde
-roots betray…
-dyed her hair

Pitch black on cooker
-burnt-roasted, red-brown
-her head pan, hair almond

Sha has a full round face
-her skin talks ginger

I wonder:
-Lebanese?
-Middle East?
-Hybrid of many?
