Altercation Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Altercation



Altercation

Here, there, under dunes
Buried are, husks of hope.

“Rain will come.”
They whisper: “wait for drop.”

He, a husk
Wanted to, save a child
Was punished, curb stomp.

Curb stomp and coma
Unconscious, in bed now.

You witnessed in silence?
Shame on you Edmonton.

Love and hope now talks not.
What a shame; feel sweat in spine.

White and flat with snow
Wait for best; the Grande Prairie.
