Podcast Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Podcast

She will soon be on air
-a podcast; memoir
-about love, bomb, fallout.
- "It is raw honesty,
-heartbreak, from lust
-of many long journeys
-by winding through the
-loneliness and despair,
-till finding her courage, "
-she faces life's question, all alone!

This takes me deep in time
-and alley; Yasmin in Tehran.

Back from my school
-walking home, I observed
-brother was beating his sister
-covered she, in dust, dirt
-cried loud, almost dead
-just because was a girl
-and he, a strong brother
- (not naïve orphan girl)
-what a time, and culture…
-this is how learned lesson

That remained on mind, heart
-scratch turned deep carves,
-of the life as it was
- (not dream)

Now I see in White House
-and leaders in UN…same devil!
-speeches and threats, injustice of bully!
