Nassy Fesharaki Poems

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
...

Saturdays

Saturday of each month, ‘the first one'
We gather as friends
...

lot is said
shall not be the lame duck
let us talk
...

Andrea was girlfriend of martyred
She broke with the news
Kept away; implicitly conversed
Now she is explicit:
...

A man, a mirror and a bowl in front
That was it; that was all
In the bowl was water, a fly
(On surface, wings spanned)
...

I have pain

I don't care;
He is my enemy but wounded, bleeding
...
