Nassy Fesharaki Poems

Day of the dead

He is asked:
'Set the scene for your song.'
...

November snow

Piece of rag on swing; tied to rope, to tree
And, she went to sky; as if she, was cloud
...

Torn

Half-awake, half asleep, I heard this:
'I'm Ahmad, an Afghan in London.'
...

Wine cellar

She stands and poses
Wood barrels scattered
...

November again

Long ago like today
A person had claimed
...

Quest

Once somewhere
With owner well-dressed in two-piece
...

BP

"What is BP? " I have asked,
Not of one but many
...

It is killing
Sitting with a bald man, with high rank
He's funny; sort of dumb, handicapped
(You speak; he is busy reading a map.)
...

I have watched the bullfights
Matadors and the cows
In Spain, in Peru, Portugal
And blood-reaction
...

In the car and forward
In morning and too dark
Ghost came and fast crossed
Driver open-eyed
...
