Heard Of Suicide Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Heard of suicide

For my life uncle was the first that
-committed suicide

Now I feel like the day I was young
-and allowed to enter the Hammam
-for wedding of cousins; brothers
-simply because my brother; their friend
-was absent and I was replacing

The two came after wash
-were groomed and dressed
-piece by piece, part by part
-underwear to the top and henna
-every part with poem and a song!

Great time, happiness, cultural…

I shaved and took shower, cut my nails
-am setting all the scenes for my maid
-I will be good to her if have failed
-with Geoffrey and working on the film!

I will take the pills that are ready; more to buy
-dissolve them in water, bottoms up!

This will be favourite wedding for
-the person who rather die pride
-than asking for the help of crowd
-or of the government and agents!

They make you a window for show off
-'We do this, we do that…' and so on!
