Nassy Fesharaki Poems

British home children in Canada

They wonder
-all of them
...

Words are doves

Words are doves,
-innocent and pure
...

Village

Every boy in village, is nephew
-to every man, woman
...

Mistaken

With Noruz the post cards
-need to get enveloped
...

Ascetic

She was born on reserve
-holds in hand a razor
...

Chaupadi

Book in hand as always
-went there for my passport
...

Mercy

To me
-he was a broken passenger
...

Cowed

Large, black. Globe-like
-spheres of those eyes
...

Names

Tired feel of the names
-regardless if Nassy
...

Nest

"Hey Robin…" I shouted
-went, flew, did not care
...
