No Cherry Blossom Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

No cherry blossom

Odysseus for some days
-acted weight on ankles
-today chains broke and
-sun regained its crown
-lighted and made world warm
-clouds were bikini for torso of sky
-bare skin far too much
-on women who rode bikes
-and angels high above
-hidden were small parts
-exposed to Areola

The dogs like their owners
-with shorter, longer tails
-and ears
-their faces soft, cute
-or ugly with dread
-had their walks
-humans like their pets
-did not greet or exchange
-a feeling, hello, hi

The nation too diverse
-male, female, shape and age
-but still united underneath the maple

Two, four wheels or paws, legs,
-Oh, oh, oh Canada!
-the diverse united underneath the maple

Even moves and motions
-revealed the past, nations
-Arab or of Iran
-Spain or Portugal
-Latino of Andes, Brazil
-Vietnam or Chinese
-whoever, whatever
-the diverse united underneath the maple

Spring had delayed
-too early for filming the Cherry-Blossoms!
