It Is Winter Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

It Is Winter



It is winter

It is winter
It is winter both outside and inside
It is winter, dancing floor is sky
Dance clouds in grey, in silver and dark-dark
They’re dancing rock & Roll; also waltz and Cha-Cha
Sun is gone; moon is lost and trees crystal-ice-snow, bundled up

It is winter
It is winter both outside and inside
Sea-levels dancing floor
Dance the waves in colors white, grey, dark
They’re dancing with shaman; dance of death

It is winter
It is winter all around (in, at, out)
Sea surface is floor to the floats
Cruisers, oil tankers, wreck-small

Passengers in style dancing in bikini
Love making, wine-serving and champagne,

Oil tanker deep in sea with crew in blind
Siren is scarecrow for dolphins and the whale

Drowning-drowning wooden dhow,
Small boat is capsized; some voices in the air

They are calling; seeking help; child has lost hand of mom,
She’s shouting; mom and child dip and out, their hair shape part of waves

Lampedusa is witness to some saved
(Photo of naked man facing wall, police search,)
Bulgarian Attaka: “It’s our land …”

Is there heart or a God in heavens?
I plea and plea and plea
“Let me die, let me go and get lost.”
Can’t observe; co-exist with this shame.
